An easier way to quench the silver after fusing or soldering is to spray it with water. I keep a spray bottle of water on my bench at all times so I don't have to pick up hot silver with tweezers. When the metal is hot, the droplets of water will dance around and then disappear. When the water begins to pool on the silver, it is completely quenched and cool enough to handle.
This seems like an important bit of information to include, especially since the name of the fusing solution that you used is hidden in the video. It's a bit frustrating that a single bit of information like this makes the entire tutorial seem incomplete. I hope that she takes time to answer your question - perhaps a bit too optimistic given that it's three years since you've asked.

What sort of fusing solution do you use? Is it blue fuse? And where did you get it?

The fusing solution is called Blue Fuse. You can buy it on Etsy.
