It needs some kind of handler, but we mostly have those in place. A web browser could be the handler for instance. A web browser has the green dot on the upper left, telling you a page is secure, that https is on and valid. This could work like that, the browser can verify the video and display a green or red dot in the corner, the user could just mouse over it/tap on it to see who it's verified to be from. But it's up to the user to mouse over it and check if it says whitehouse.gov or dr-evil-mwahahaha.biz
