Traffic shaping is your friend. Many routers let you prioritize and/or maximize the amount of traffic by type/protocol/port. Most video players are pretty savvy about downshifting the resolution/ frames per seconds and caching so viewers can still have an adequate experience with limited bandwidth. Obviously, you're not going to put a lot of effort into what is essentially an employee perk, but 200 Mbps is a lot of bandwidth and ought to serve the group really well for a long time.
