Watched the vid closer. I see what ya mean.

Use a straw or popsicle stick through the exhaust port see if you can "feel" that line left to right and vice-versa. If it stops yer pokey stick, may wanna pull the cylinder off for a better look.
Thanks for this saved me from tearing down the saw and luckily the straw didn’t catch at all so just a dirty cylinder it seems.
 
I would do a compression test. Certainly a LOT easier than removing the muffler or anything else to troubleshoot the condition of the P/C. I did a compression test recently on mine just to test the gauge because it was only showing 85 psi on a pretty new 372XP that I was working on. It went up to 155psi after a couple of pulls which told me the Husky X-Torque had some issues.......
