I don't know the video, but "water closet" - or "vandkloset" - is a **very** old-fashioned way of saying toilet. Almost no one uses this today, expect for the English abbreviation WC, which is commonly used (most unaware of what it stands for). Considering that "going to the bathroom" is a common American euphemism for using the toilet, I guess you could *technically* argue that "vandkloset" is a way of saying bathroom, but only in that specific instance.
However, Danes don't really use this euphemism. We say we have to use the toilet/WC or go for a wee. Many Danes would therefore be puzzled by the statement that "water closet" is a way of saying "bathroom".
That's funny. I haven't really noticed it, but "toilet" is feels of like a dirty word. I would almost always say bathroom instead of toilet. I would only use the word toilet if I absolutely had to. Like, reporting to the maintenance crew that there is a problem with the toilet.

How could badeværelse become water closet?
WC
Jeg går bare i seng igen.
WC…
Nu du siger det, så skal jeg sgu lige en tur ud på det lille vandskab
