Yated Shidduch Forum 5/14/21: How About Sending Shidduch Videos Instead of Shidduch Pictures?

Question:
I thought of an idea to help address our shidduchim needs. Why not have boys/girls send in a short clip of themselves talking about themselves and what they are looking for in a shidduch and their priorities? This would be very helpful in preventing DOA shidduch dates and would have a lot more people going out on dates which they may have avoided had they not seen the clip. In order to ensure privacy, these videos would be sent to shadchanim only. This can also keep the shadchanim’s memories refreshed, as they can refer to the videos as needed.
