This week, screen recording is beginning to roll out to customers. The new screen recording tool in Microsoft Stream gives everyone a way to create videos for sharing knowledge, remote learning, leadership updates and other communications across your organization.

 

 

Easily create new videos with the web-based tool—no need to download anything to get started. Just open the latest version of Edge or Chrome and your Stream portal then, from the Create dropdown list, select Record screen.  
 

Video creators can use options to record any window or screen, add mic or system audio, and include webcam for a personal touch.

 

Screen recording capabilities will continue to roll out over the next week. More functionality, including editing capabilities, will be coming soon! To learn more about the screen recording capabilities visit our documentation page.

    From the docs page:

    Screen recordings are limited to a maximum length of 15 minutes. For longer content, break up your video into shorter segments.

    If Stream supported Playlists then this would be very useful. We have lots of training videos that we'd like to put into a "series". I realize I can put them all in a channel but that doesn't support play order, and auto play of the next video, etc whereas a playlist would allow me to curate videos and send them directly to a user for watching.

    #timing, a day after I purchased Deluxe Screen-cast-o-matic  😉  I need to be paying more attention to roadmaps.

    That 15 minute time limit... Our faculty will still be recording lectures/presentations and uploading them to Stream I guess. This will be good for quick how-to videos I suppose.

    What does now available really mean?  I don't see this in our tenant yet.  When can I expect it to land?
