When you think of Swiss cheese, you think of holes. But Gruyère, which has a smooth texture, is the most produced and most consumed cheese within Switzerland. Gruyère cheese is a component of a classic Swiss fondue, along with European dishes like quiche and croque monsieur. The cheese has a long heritage. Records of cheesemaking go back to the 12th century in this region. Today, 30,000 tons of Gruyere are produced here each year.

As a Swiss living in Switzerland I can concur this video is correct. It's absolutely necessary to use gruyère to make a good fondue as the main cheese choice then you can add some Appenzeller and a little bit of Emmentaler. (And don't forget the kirsch!)
