Inmarsat is an insecure, 2 Mbps (at best) connection with satellites at 22236 miles above Earth and a latency of about 900-1100 ms.
Starlink is a secure, 100 Mpbs (typical) connection with satellites at 342 miles above Earth and a latency of about 25 ms.
Odds of getting a video link on Inmarsat are low, and even if you do, it's potato quality. Source - have been using these systems operationally since the 1990s.
