Stream Video access for more than one group
I don't think its a problem of companywide channels. It's normal to have public groups or companywide content, but in some occasions you just need to limit who has access to a service.
Usually you can control access by the distribution of licenses, but for some unclear reason Microsoft has decided to leave a back door in Stream service. We decided to wait until MS will solve this issue.

Today the only groups in Stream we support are O365 Groups, which can be public or private, and do not support nesting of O365 Groups or AD Security groups as members of the group. As such I think the only option would be to disable access for these users to Stream all together.
If you remove their Stream license via O365 Admin user UI or via PowerShell the only way they'd have access is if they went to Stream directly and signed up for a free trial. If you want to block the free trials there is a way, however the method blocks ad-hoc sign ups of all free trials (PowerBI, Flow, PowerApps, etc). If this is okay for you to block all ad-hoc trials here are the instructions: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/ability-to-disable-free-sign-ups-for-the-free-power-bi/
Thank you Marc!!! That worked for us. I advice you to update https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/disable-user-organization, because instructions given there block Stream access for absolutely all users and Premier support was not able to give us any alternative solution.
