RichCocksedge - you are using Stream (Classic). Stream (Classic) didn't have very customizable permission. If you have a company wide channel the only way to put videos into it is to make the video viewable by the whole organization itself. 

 

Same with groups and channels in groups. If you make a group the video will get the same permission as the group. 

 

You should not use Stream (Classic) and start putting your videos into SharePoint or Teams. Do these HR and IT departments already have SharePoint sites? Use that to store the videos. You can make any number of folders and libraries with unique permission per your needs. 

 

Then make some SharePoint pages to feature the videos with the highlighted content web part to make something that looks like a channel or even just make a better gallery view on the document library and send that link out. 

See https://aka.ms/StreamPortals

 

Stream (Classic) will retire in the next 1.5 years and migration tool is hitting public preview very soon.
