According to the Guardian, there was no vote by Parliament and the visit is still scheduled.

Sir Alan Duncan, the deputy foreign secretary, has reaffirmed the government’s intention to host President Trump on a state visit at the end of a three-hour debate that saw MPs denounce him as unworthy of the honour. The debate, which took place in Westminster Hall, was prompted by the petition signed by 1.8m people saying Trump should be denied a state visit and it was opened by the Labour MP Paul Flynn who, in a wide-ranging attack, described Trump’s intellect as “protozoan”.

Not sure what this video is, but it’s definitely not the House of Commons.

Also, of note, the House of Lords is debating the Brexit bill, and may move to stop it. The PM apparently is attending the debate in person.
