I see a connecting bar at the top of the door very briefly in your video, that looks similar to what is discussed here.

I'm not familiar with these types of auto-close devices, but there is probably a pin that disconnects the auto-closing mechanism. The movers probably removed the pin to allow the door to stay open. Look to see how the bar attaches to the door and to the door frame.

So I need a pin? Or how does that work?

I honestly don't know as I've never seen one like this before.

Can you find a label on your screen door that has the brand and model? You might be able to find an installation manual online.

Here’s the top top hinge

Looks like a screw or something is missing
