What happens here
To remove the screwless switch plate cover, locate the small notch or slot, typically found at the bottom edge of the outer plate. Insert a small, flat-head screwdriver or a 5-in-1 painting tool into this slot. Apply gentle, upward or outward pressure to pry the cover. The cover is designed to pop off with minimal effort, detaching from the base plate and exposing the internal switch components and mounting screws. The narrator mentions that this process doesn't require "a whole lot of pressure" and it "just pops off."
Goal: Detach the screwless outer cover from the switch plate frame.
