I think the top youtube video's text appears to say the launch will occur during the last minute of the window. If that's what it does say, I'm afraid some people may miss out. Am I reading it right?

I don't believe that is correct.
SpaceX on Twitter
~60 minutes until Falcon 9 launch of @Intelsat 35e. Webcast will go live about 15 minutes before liftoff → http://spacex.com/webcast
6:36 PM - 2 Jul 2017
The youtube text says, "
Scheduled for Jul 3, 2017
SpaceX are scheduled to launch a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Intelsat 35e satellite late Sunday night at 00:36 UTC from Kennedy Space Center in Florida." I thought that was the end of the launch window, e.g., too late to view if it actually launches closer to the beginning. That's what I meant about "missing out". I will admit I'm not the greatest at converting GMT to anything else.

I believe you're better at it than that youtube channel is, they are listing the window closing time. I'd recommend sticking with the actual SpaceX webcast.
Scrub for today. The computers called a halt to the countdown. No news on what caused the scrub.
See Spaceflight News: SCRUB: 24-hour recycle of the launch of Intelsat 35e
Quote: "Guidance Issue aborted the launch, The Falcon 9 and Satellite are both healthy. "
I don't know what the "guidance issue" was, but the good news is the Falcon is in good shape and they will try again tomorrow, same time I think.

15 minute time slip due to weather conditions. SpaceX will be trying for a clear weather window to get the launch in.
Edit: Due to fueling, another 15 minutes have been added on.

Nothing new. Just "guidance." The computers saw something and called a halt. Usually Elon is the person to give us the details on what happened and he didn't.
Per John Insprucker, the guidance issue was a false flag alert. A further check showed there was no issue.

Another Abort. No launch for today either.
Backup launch opportunity tomorrow.
Maybe you'll see some non-explosive fireworks. I will be at a wedding. So someone else will need to pick up the baton unless I get a moment during the festivities.
Details for whatever issue caused the abort is still unknown. Check SpaceX twitter for updates.

The falcon 9 on board computer does a check on all critical systems at that point in the countdown, its by design that it was at the same time stamp.
