Stream Storage
Should we expect the storage for any new videos added to Stream to go against our SPO tenant storage as it does for Office 365 Video? Do new channels that are created create site collections, and can a Sharepoint tenant admin monitor what is created through the tenant?
@Bhowell for preview, the product is completely free and separate from Office 365 so no usage will impact your SharePoint tenant storage.
Also, it's not built on SharePoint so those constructs won't work with Microsoft Stream. If you are an Office subscriber you can continue to use Office 365 Video and at a future date once we have more details on our integration with Office 365, we can talk more to admin capabilities like management, etc.
I understand the fixed allocation of 500GB for the tenant and 0.5GB per licensed user. What I don't understand is the 500GB is in a pool which for all licensed users, and then each licensed user also have it's own 0.5GB? Or does the 0.5GB/@ licensed user will be added to the pool?
Can one user potentially eat up the entirely storage pool?
With the changes to SharePoint Storage announced from July 1 2018 to be 1 TB plus 10 GB per user license purchased (see post here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/Increase-in-SharePoint-Online-storage-allocation/ba-p/187617)
Will stream storage follow a similar revised storage model as of July 2018?
This would make recording MS Team meetings far more agreeable.

Sorry. No plans right now to change stream storage quota to match SharePoint.
Here is MS info on this
https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/stream-license-overview/
"Microsoft Stream includes a base amount of storage. A Microsoft Stream tenant receives a fixed allocation of 500 GB of storage and an additional 0.5 GB of storage per licensed user* as illustrated in the table below. Additional Microsoft Stream storage is available for purchase separately. See the Microsoft Stream pricing page for more details."
However to the OP's point, this sounds just like SPO, and the service appears to connect to O365 groups... so i think the question is still unawnsered... does this count towards SPO storage, or is it its own storage... and how do you monitor it?
This service is now GA... i would hope someone from MS can awnser the question.
About Groups and Channels, this should awnser your question
https://stream.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/stream-groups-channels-overview/
Company wide channels open to everyone
Groups connected to O365 groups and O365 groups security
Group Channels, connected to groups and thus the security.

Stream storage and quota is not connected to or using SharePoint Online storage/quota.
The qutoa limits listed on the linked help doc are for within Stream itself.
Videos uploaded to Stream within a group or not, are NOT stored within SharePoint Online. We use O365 Groups for permissions/membership and settings but not for physical storage of the original video files. Videos uploaded to Stream are stored within the Stream service itself which is an Azure based service on top of Azure SQL, Blob, and Azure Media Services.
