When taking off, any significant engine malfunction triggering a warning should be announced by the PNF without stating the engine number!

Only when the PF commands the PNF to read the ECAM, shall he specify which engine has the problem, and any action on that engine should only be performed after both pilots have confirmed that it is indeed the correct (malfunctioning) engine!
This procedure has been established to protect flight deck crews from shutting down the wrong engine in their panic.

Therefor, the pilot on that video responded correctly although in many cases the aircraft will be able to climb safely without selecting TOGA thrust.
