The other video I mention on Zendo decorum is this one, from our "Always Beginners" video Series:
I also recommend a little Talk on why small rituals and procedures are so cherished in the Zendo:

“To study the Buddha Way is to study the self; to study the self is to forget the self;
to forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the body and mind of others drop away.
No trace of realization remains and this no trace continues endlessly.”
