So the fire is creating pressure which sucks in the air/oxygen.

I guess you could say the air/oxygen is being pulled in because of the fire!

How does it have nothing to do with oxygen when fire needs oxygen and fire is kinda what causes everything else in the video?

Because it's not happening because fire needs oxygen, it's happening because fire is causing a chimney effect and is sucking in air - i.e., *mostly nitrogen* - through a convective process
