I have tried to specify parameters in Power BI Service, they are not interactive with the viewers only the creater who has access to edit the dataset.

The parameters are accessible by the dataset semantic model owner in the service - that doesn't have to be the creator. Another workspace member can take over the dataset semantic model.

 

If you want the report user to be able to influence them you need to bind them to a direct query column.

The solution referenced in the video is done in Power Query, not in Power BI.  You cannot write back parameters from the Power BI UI manually into the Power Query partition or expression.  You can specify parameters in the Power BI Service, or your can use dynamic parameters that you bind to a column.  NOTE:  This will only be effective for Direct Query data sources.
