As with every other suggested use of blockchain, there are already better ways to verify contents. It's called hashing, it's been around for decades, and we do it all the time.
This is going to run into all kinds of bottlenecks. Individual users may have a fast enough Internet connection to stream HD video, but uploading is often much slower. Even if not, one user could only co-host maybe 1-2 other users. Also, ISPs sure aren't going to like all the increased bandwidth!
People always vastly underestimate the bandwidth requirements for smooth, streaming video.
