de = indicates where an action or event takes place
ni = indicates a location where someone or something exists

[@BrylleCC]

sou ka

[@OsakaJoe01]

Maybe it’s a good video for beginners, but I think maybe be oversimplified, which may cause confusion in the future. In this case, yes, に indicates a destination, and thus answers the English equivalent of “Where to?” However, it can also indicate a locus of existence, or a point in time, and thus answer the questions “Where is?” or “When?/What time?”
For example:
Where is the pencil?
The pencil is on the desk.
鉛筆はどこにありますか。
鉛筆は机の上にあります。
When will you come?
I will come on Wednesday.
いつ来ますか？
水曜日に来ます。
The explanation in this video may suffice for a beginner learning the difference between “で” and “に,” but it could spark the question:
“So what’s the difference between に and へ?”
since both of these can be “to.”
図書館に行きます。
図書館へ行きます。
For this reason I think it would be better if で were explained as the adverb prepositional marker for a place of action, where as に acts as an adverb prepositional marker for location, destination or point in time. (へ marks direction or destination only).

[@adriatical9016]

man this is confusing

[@arenmark6942]

This is so true. に also talks about existence. I was always wondering before why my native Japanese friends say "どこにいますか。"

[@denper64]

de indicates the exact location of the action done while ni/he indicates where is the exact direction.
