Regular viewers already know you, and new ones do not care yet. The intro is the worst possible slot for anything that only serves people who already trust you.
Should you introduce yourself at the start of a video?
No, not to cold viewers. A person who clicked your thumbnail came for the promised content, and a self-introduction delays it. Introduce yourself briefly later, once you have delivered something worth their time.
