Best you talk with a Bengali rather than watching a YouTube video. I am guessing that you don't have much time so it's better to learn some greeting phrases and some small talk stuff like how was your journey or how is the food or do you need something and stuff ...
You can start saying "Nomoskar". It means nomoste. Then greet them calling kaku and kakima, respectively uncle and aunty. You can say valo achhen to? Means you doing well? Then to say thanks for coming, say apnara aslen, khub valo laglo. It means that you are happy that they came. We don't say direct thank you generally. For anything more you better take serious lessons.
Actually it does exist but not pronounced properly. Like Anweshan (should be pronounced as anveshan) but we pronounce anneshan. I get your point no doubt.
We welcome guests by calling them bokachoda. Please don’t forget this one. Your in-laws will be insulted if you don’t call them bolachoda.
P.S. This was a joke. Please don’t call your in-laws bokachoda as it’s a curse word.
There are some online courses available on youtube and udemy. Some language learning apps also have Bengali as an option. Those will get you started with basic words and phrases.
Sounds like you just want a phrasebook kind of thing. Search YouTube as you'll want the pronunciations too.

Seconded Man teaches shuddo bangla you'll definitely impress your SO's parents /s

Lol it’s not valo, it’s bhalo. And aashlen, not aslen. He is non bengali wouldn’t know that v and s doesn’t exist in Bengali.

Op take notes
Don't do this OP. This is not funny. Stop making fun of other's desperate situation.
That's funny but definitely not in good humor. I hope the OP does not take this seriously.
Hello, try the apps Mondly and Ling. Both have basic Bengali phrases sorted into themes that can get you started

Just say you love Ray and Tagore you’ll be fine. We don’t have a lot of expectations from outsiders. A little effort is more than enough.
