I've reindexed the sentences. I think all but one of them are sense 2. In a couple of cases it's hard to tell without context.
Sense 1 is the medium, especially the visual portion of television, while sense 4 is a video recording/clip (as in ミュージックビデオ).

Reopening to remind me to work on reindexing the 19 sentences. I'm not quite sure how senses 1 and 4 differ.

Comment 1 
The thing for that example though is I've definitely heard Japanese people use it that way. For example, Sambon Juku often says it in his sign offs, as seen here :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONoDHftxgAI&t=550s
"このビデオが面白かった、役に立ったと思ったら、ライク、コメント、シェア". So I don't know.

Comment 2 in reply(abbriged):
One thing with Katakana is that their most basic function is meant to signal loan words, so native younger generations just use it as a direct reflection of their English counterpart instead of the supposed "correct" etymologically aware usage. It depends on how you want to sound, if you want to sound like a younger generation's speech you will try to mimic even the not-so-rigid way they use the language, but if you want to speak in a formal or business situation you definitely don't want to sound like you are recording a TikTok video.
  Comments:
Reading through the comments of the aforementioned post, it seems "kids these days" might be picking up "video" again (a la ビデオクリップ)... It makes sense, but I don't know what that says for this entry. Is  ビデオ = 動画 [sl] or [col] then? (a separate sense)
