The video pretty much says “use detergent in both pre-wash and wash receptacles”. Using the pods makes this hard. Using powder lets you do this easily yourself.

That’s pretty much it.

Aren't there tablets made of two layers, one which dissolves during prewash, and the other mostly during wash? I mean the two-colored ones.

The door the tablet’s in doesn’t open until after the prewash.

He tests those as well, finds that they don’t actually do a staged release like that.

No, the dishwasher dispenses the entire tablet during main wash only. Which is exactly why if you use tablets the pre wash won’t have any soap

At least not in the ones tested in the video.

Also, the prewash happens in a cycle, where the soap holder isn’t opened.
