Update on 2018-02-04:
GNOME Tweak removed the ability to install extensions via Zip files. :(

You now have to manually install via the command-line by unzipping the file to the correct /home folder.

unzip name-of-extension.zip\ -d ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/extension-global@identifier/

for example:
unzip [email protected]\ -d ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/[email protected]/

I may need to revisit this video with an updated version. :)
