I can hear the rub, but can't see it in the video. You have to use your eyes and SEE where the chain is touching on something. Look at the ENTIRE loop including the RD until you can see where it's touching on something. Pay special attention to where the chain enters the RD at the idler wheel. Also, shift to various gears and turn the crank until one of the large chainring pickup pins lines up with the chain and stop, and confirm clearance by sliding a dollar bill between the chain and outer ring.

Of you can't see anything, take the bike out and ride it and see if it rides OK. If so, ride it for 10 miles or so until the issue either resolves or becomes pronounced enough that you can spot it.

Unfortunately, looking at a bike via the internet, even with video is nothing like having it in your hands, so ultimately you'll have to be the one to spot the issue. We can only make suggestions.

If it doesn't resolve, let a pro put his eyes, ears and hands on it.
