The world judges how someone looks, God looks at the heart.

Yes, the heart is what really matters.

1Sa 16:7 - But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”

I loved this verse, especially when I was a teen. I don't even think we are capable of seeing people the way God sees them. I also liked the phrase 'outward appearance' because I think it might mean more than just a person's body and clothes, but extend to how they are presented, their type of house, how people precieve them and their family, what they drive, or any quirky mannerisms a person has, etc. We can have so much knowledge about a person but so little understanding of their heart.

For context, its when Jesse's boys were walking in front of the prophet Samuel for picking out the next king.

I didn't watch the video, just saw this comment and loved it.
