Nonverbal behavior is a half or more of information useful for typing. Most typers prefer to have both kinds of information about behavior as partial information reduces probability for correct typing. Some typers even will not do typing if there is no full information to wich they got accustomed to.
The videointerview has to contain your tale about yourself. If you have difficulties in what to tell about, you may tell: "What do I do better than others. What do others do better than me."
- duration of the video is 10 min or more
- resolution 480p or more
- bottom view line is near a chest, camera is directed horizontaly (not from bellow or other side)
- good light, no deep shadows on the face
- do not wear glasses or headphones
- the gap between taking of psychotropic med and video recording should be >2 weeks
- the atmosphere is comfortable and confident
- you may speak on any language in the video, but in non-English case it's useful to add a questionnaire in English
Examples of how a video frame should look:

Links to your video and other materials place in the 1st message. It's good to write in the title of your typing thread about availability of the video (if you can't edit the theme's title, you may create new thread).
It's doubtfully to identify correctly your type without nonverbal infromation as it gives much about your type. To type without videointerview is not serious. A questionnaire may be useful as additional material. Photos are useful only as addition, as they give much lesser nonverbal information than a video.
You may try different typing tests, including MBT's ones as they are about same Jung's types.
There is also experimental
IR test, which is useful to check the possibility the version said by video was correct.
In common, you get several versions of your type or sometimes only part of your type. Then you should check these versions yourself, including by intertype relations (IR). Typers only help you.
It's important to have theory fitting to reality good. But it's not obligatory to have 100% fitting to descriptions as they were made for average case, while many factors affect peoples' behavior and relations.
It's important to know that Jung's typology practice is far from perfect now. Generally, typers match in types up to 30% only, when they did not know others versions beforehand. It's common when typers don't give detailed explanation how they've come to type version. There are no logically strict typing methods, no objectively proved methods. Typers use many speculations and subjectivism, when use intuition (especially for nonverbal information) they can't base clearly, - as a result arguments are not unambiguously and exhaustively, even if they'd try and wanted to do this.
