Is the canon ef 70 200mm f 2 8l usm good for video?

The site doesn't say how this lens performs for video, so I can't give you a verdict on it. What the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM page does show: it's not stabilised, which matters when you're shooting handheld. On full frame it frames as 70-200mm, and on APS-C it frames like 112-320mm.

That makes it a telephoto, not a vlogging lens. My video guide recommends a wide lens for vlogging, so this one suits tighter shots like interviews or subjects at a distance. Whatever lens you use, budget for sound separately, since bad audio ruins more videos than soft focus. The guide's audio section covers the options.
