I'm not sure what the solvent is. If you left a comment on the video asking what it is, maybe the video maker would let you know.

It does look like the adhesive is heat activated. So applying heat might also help getting it unstuck. But I can't see how it could be done without damage to the screen.

Heat activated adhesives tend to require fairly high temperatures, like 180 °C. So you'd need a heat gun, and it would make safe handling more difficult.
