We track all the ideas from all of you here on the MS Tech Community in the "Ideas" section.
Typically external videos feature request come in 2 flavors.
1. Pure public / anonymous video - where anyone with a link / embed code can watch the video without logging in.

2. Guest users - Where you type in the email of a person you want to share with and they have to login in some way with Org ID or MSA to see a video.

I have 3000+ users and have resorted to using a paid service to prevent the advertising popups that come with YouTube. The entire security model in Stream is useless (try changing who can view a channel after it's created). Strongly considering migrating to gmail.
If you use groups in stream you can change who can view/edit/own, but channels are either companywide (everyone can view) or part of group and inherit from the group.
We realize this current model has it's downfalls like you mentioned above. In 2018 we are looking at moving away from companywide channels and making all channels be in a group. That way you can always have the permission control on the group level, with the added benefit of having the home page for the group and be able to have other channels be also under that group for more organization.

Using Stream to share video content with external users was one of the primary reasons to use Office 365. I can't believe this feature is not available. Don't know why we bother dealing with Microsoft sometimes. I'm considering cancelling the Office 365 subscription for my company.
