Cutting joist for skewed joist hanger

Question

Do I need to cut the joist lumber's end at an angle so that it sits flushed to the beam when installing skewed joist hanger?

The below video tells me that it's not necessary.

no - the LSU hangers sit over the end of a square cut joist or rafter. they wont work if you cut them on an angle.

So the picture above is correct. What nails do I use for the right side? Same 1.5" joist hanger nails?

SOP here in ontario is a 3" ardox nail. if you can, clinch the nail over on the back side.
