Does it increase the number of interview invitations if you add a video to UpWork?

Question

Freelance

I'm new to upwork and just got my first order. I would like to know if adding a video to your profile helps you stand out from the crowd of Indians?
Have any of you added it?

Answer 1

I think the video will not increase anything. Imagine 100 Indians and you are one of them. The customer will not have time to look at your face and what you say there, what you are the most. The main role is played by the price, then there is a selection by portfolio, reviews, and sometimes tests, although they are more for beginners.

Answer 2

of course not

Answer 3

in theory yes, but in practice probably not.
