Locking overhead bins is another solution. Given the size of some of these bags, people were clearly going into the bins.

I am on a weird "airplane anorexia" kick where I am looking for planes and am kind of obsessed with the weight. Like various Waco's, depending on who restored it and how (interior/avionics choices, covering system and finish used, etc) the weight can vary widely even on the same models like a UPF-7. A light UPF with no cowl or wheel pants, no interior, no avionics, not a hand rubbed, 30 coats of dope finish - is a remarkably delightful machine. Key being "light". With that said, a kind of simple lock for the overhead that can be operated remotely from the cockpit or by FA's would be an excellent safety investment for added weight.

I commute. A lot. Here’s the problem with those videos. No one and I mean no one is watching them much less processing the information being given to them in them. Everyone is either on their phone during that video or is already trying to go to sleep.
Honestly the most I’ve ever seen anyone pay attention to the safety briefings is on Southwest when the FAs do or say something funny before it starts. Other than that on any given carrier in any given form no one is paying attention.
And even if they are a brand new flyer and do pay attention to the video do you honestly think they remember any of it in a panic when the airplane is literally on fire?
There’s only one absolute solution to this problem. Get rid of carry-ons
I like the locking bins idea from @Murdoughnut. Something controlled by the FA’s with a switch for takeoff and landing. Basically bins locked below 10K.
