What happens here

Install joist hangers along the ledger board. The video demonstrates a trick: pre-load each joist hanger with a small scrap piece of 2x6 lumber. This helps hold the hanger in place while you fasten it. Use T25 deck screws to secure the hangers to the ledger board. The video also notes that joist hanger nails might be preferred by some local building codes, so it's always good to check.
