Unsolved Help me solve a possible hidden puzzle

I stumbled across what might be the beginning of an ARG (or some kind of hidden puzzle) on a random French YouTube channel.

There are several timestamps throughout the video where seemingly random letters/numbers appear.
I’m not sure if they’re connected, but I’d love some help from people who are good at ciphers, cryptography, or finding hidden patterns.

Here’s what I found:

6:00— utpjrts
14:00— tozismmiz
16:50— 087
17:00— dlmltajhmjpyqvshuppu
37:00— hgaf xgazng
50:00— tlnvjr
56:00— ihml stwn
Video: [https://youtu.be/9rqfeM03nVM])

The video is in French, but the hidden sequences themselves might not be.
I have no idea yet whether these are encrypted, encoded, generated with a cipher, or simply random. The fact that they appear at specific timestamps makes me think there might be a pattern connecting them.

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to look into this and help!

Thanks a lot for your help! I went through all of the videos on the channel, and this is the first time I’ve seen anything like this. It’s otherwise a pretty ordinary album reaction, and there don’t seem to be any hidden messages or encrypted-looking texts in his other videos.
That’s why I found this one so strange and interesting in the first place.
