The self-landing was not performed, it seems: no video coverage, no mention.

They plan the first stage to self-land, though.

It was intended to on this test, but it failed. Hydraulic issues (just like SpaceX!). No video, presumably because they thought a nice video of part of they system exploding would be bad press.
