This is a pretty difficult request and likely isn't something that you can do full on without a little bit of compromise, but I'll at least get the conversation started. I'm going to assume that you've enabled SSL-Decryption going forward, as that is really the only effective way for something like this to work.
Then I personally build out a URL Filtering profile to be utilized in a Security Profile Group utilized throughout the security policies. This would simply match your standard URL Filtering profile, but the new custom URL Category that you created above would be set to 'Block'.
If you wanted to block all videos your application group would be much larger, or you would build it out as an application filter for category 'media' and subcateogry 'photo-video'. I'm not a big fan of this option as you'll likely have unintended application blocks. I generally find the above method work fairly well on its own, and if employees find another service or application to stream I simply add it to the list.
A streaming media service (also simply called a streaming service) is an online platform that allows users to watch or listen to content, such as movies, TV shows, music, or podcasts, over the internet. Instead of downloading the content to their device, users can stream it in real-time, which means they can start watching or listening immediately without having to wait for the entire file to download. Popular examples of streaming services include Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube.
An over-the-top media service (OTT) is a streaming media service offered directly to viewers via the Internet. OTT bypasses cable, broadcast, and satellite television platforms, the companies that traditionally act as controllers or distributors of such content. Most of these services are owned by a major film studio. Some streaming services started as an add-on to Blu-ray offerings, which are supplements to the programs watched.
Digital streaming acts in a similar way to on-demand television in that the program to watch is selected. But the program is not recorded or stored like it might be on TiVo, etc. Digital video purchases grant a user indefinite access to a show or film, but the terms and conditions vary as to whether the file can be downloaded or must be streamed.
A client end-user can use a media player, computer, smartphone, or smart TV to start and continue playing digital video content before the entire file has been transmitted. Users will need an Internet connection to stream or download video content. Users lacking compatible hardware or software systems may be unable to stream or download certain content.

The following services are owned and operated by television networks, cable channels, or other conglomerates in that market. They are major content producers, and their streaming services serve as the primary means of distributing the content that often first airs on their networks or channels.
We want all of your favorite video streaming services to be included as a part of Binge On. If your go-to video streaming service isn't part of the program yet, tweet us your favorite service @TMobile, along with the hashtag #BingeOn. If they meet our requirements, we'll investigate the feasibility of adding them. No one pays to join and no money is exchanged.
If you are a streaming service provider click here, send us an email and we'll get back to you to begin the process. See FAQs below for more information about technical criteria.
T-Mobile will review all submissions to ensure identification of video stream and technical requirements, including optimization for mobile viewing.
T-Mobile is committed to maximizing YOUR choice and providing access to as many great providers as possible.
Binge On optimizes video quality for smartphone screens. As a result, it provides a great DVD-quality experience (typically 480p or better) for all detectable video while using a fraction of the data, unless a provider chooses to opt-out of the program. To date, no providers have opted out of Binge On. If you have Binge On and want to disable it, we will no longer optimize video for viewing on a mobile device. Your videos may stream at a higher resolution (e.g., HD); however, you will no longer have the ability to stream for free from participating streaming services or have video optimized for your smartphone screen, resulting in faster usage of your high-speed data. You can always change your mind and enable Binge On any time to start enjoying the benefits again.
Binge On is automatically enabled so your data will stretch up to three times further when you are streaming video, unless a provider chooses to opt out. If you disable Binge On, video streaming will no longer be optimized and video resolution will default to the highest available based on the streaming service (e.g., HD). This will also result in your 4G LTE data being consumed faster, and all video streaming will count toward your high-speed data. Of course, you are free to disable Binge On at any time, and then enable it again whenever you like.
Absolutely nothing. Every Simple Choice customer can watch up to three times more video with their data plan with Binge On enabled. If you have 3GB of data or more, stream from your favorite steaming services like YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Sling, ESPN, SHOWTIME, Starz, and more for free, without using your 4G LTE data. The more data you have, the more benefits you get.
Yes, Binge On is a benefit included in all T-Mobile rate plans with limited high-speed data buckets, including T-Mobilefor Business plans. If you have 3GB data plan or higher you will be able to stream video through YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Sling, ESPN and more without it counting against your high-speed data. Businesses can choose to enable or disable Binge On for each line independently or the entire account and every line on the account will be eligible for the Binge On benefits.
Yes, with T-Mobile, families never share data. Each family member gets their own ability to stream unlimited. Families can experience Binge On benefits automatically and control settings for each line independently.
Yes. If you are streaming video from one of our Binge On providers while tethering from a smartphone, tablet, or mobile Internet device to a laptop, desktop, tablet, or handset you'll enjoy all the great benefits of Binge On.
It looks great. Binge On optimizes video quality for smartphone screens. It provides a great DVD-quality experience (typically 480p or better), which can also minimize buffering and maximize quality while using a fraction of the data. But it is your choice. If you want a higher resolution data experience, you can always choose to turn off Binge On; however, you will no longer have the ability to stream for free from participating streaming services, or have video optimized for your smartphone screen, resulting in higher usage of your high-speed data.
For best performance, leave any video streaming application set to its default resolution setting, because most video applications will automatically adapt to Binge On. Attempting to set your video streaming service to a specific resolution while Binge On is enabled may degrade performance and lead to buffering. If you want to view video at a specified resolution, you can disable Binge On and turn it back on when you like.
To be listed as participating in the offer, all video from the provider must continuously meet these requirements; if the content provider does not continue to meet then-current requirements, T-Mobile may remove video from inclusion in our zero-rating program.
These criteria are current as of March 16, 2016. The Binge On offering may be discontinued at any time, and this page will be updated to reflect any changes to the Binge On program or the technical requirements.

Content Provider Technical Requirements for Binge On
Since its launch in November of 2015 customers have enjoyed T-Mobile's Binge On video offering, under which customers on qualifying rate plans who choose to receive standard DVD quality video (typically 480p or better) receive zero-rated video (with associated audio) streams from qualifying content providers. Content providers have 4 choices under the program:
But they went further! By their earnings report, they started telling us how many folks were watching their films in the first 28 days. Including an updated number for Bird Box of 80 millions subscribers watching 70%. Which allowed me to draw this conclusion:
The decay of films has direct ramifications on the streaming wars. The steeper a film decays, the harder it is to monetize long term. So knowing how shows and films perform over time is important for the streaming wars. To show just one example, my Mulan analysis relied on forecasting its decay over time.
