What content can you host on Patreon? I only really have experience with authors and text is cheap to host. Can you host video?

Nope, Patreon doesn't host video. Generally I think people upload their Patreon-exclusive videos to YouTube as unlisted and use that as a free hosting service.

Video no, but you can host audio. They have functionality that lets you set up a patron-exclusive podcast for example

Text and images. It's pretty basic, mostly meant as a way for project creators to provide updates on what they've been doing.
