It only moves a tiny bit so I can't really tell from the video. It's possible that both ends of threads are spinning. The top part isn't supposed to spin in place.
Anyway - when you do the leveling - hit continue 3 or 4 times - the first part wants you to get it about 1mm above - just skip that part. Then you adjust the rear. Then when it comes to the front two screws (the second time) you shouldn't have far to move.
If you are absolutely sure it doesn't move then just cut power and take the bed apart. Or at least do the fist step: remove the glass plate and then spin that knob and make sure the other end isn't spinning. If it is maybe try some glue or something to hold that end firmly in place. But I suspect it is working fine.
So to explain again: When you turn that big nut in your video - the top of the screw (almost touching or actually touching the glass) should not spin. If it spins then that's the problem. Try a drop of glue up there just under the screw head - avoid glue on the threads though! So use very thick glue that won't slide down the screw onto the threads!

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
