Sharing a Video from Stream using Anonymous links doesn't allow users to download video
Hi, Download button disappeared again from the Stream view of the video when it is shared via Anonymous link using Can view Setting. Can view setting also wrongly presents the description as: Anyone with the link can view but can't download which in essence is true but it shouldn't be true for the Can view setting. When I switch to Can't download and Apply it and then go back to the link settings and choose Can view, I get the correct description: Anyone with the link can view. However, when opened, the video still doesn't have the Download button. Marc Mroz is this planned shift in regard to Stream revamp or just a unintended side effect - bug? Thank you for the effort.hardware encoder to create content for Stream

In a Targeted Release tenant, we just started to see the Stream web player be rebranded to Clipchamp today. There hasn't been a Message Center post about the rest of the rollout, what happens to "open in Stream" for meeting recordings, etc. but thought I'd put this out there for other customers to get prepared now for this change. More about the change that was announced in November but not other updates since then.Audio problems for professional created videos
Hi everyone, i am working for an IT department and received the following incident. I wanted to bring up an issue we've been experiencing with the audio quality of board videos when played on SharePoint. Locally, the videos play perfectly fine, but once uploaded to the SPO, we notice frequent clicking sounds that significantly affect the audio quality. Details: The audio issues seem to occur randomly and are not consistent across all videos. We are following the rules for encoding - Video formats you can play on Microsoft 365 - Microsoft Support MP4 1080p - 5Mbps, Audio AAC 192Kbps - Encoder is Adobe Premiere If you download the file locally there is no clicking - it is only in the Streaming web player Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the web player and .mp4 files? We would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Looking forward to any advice from the community. Best regards Stephan
Video Error CDN?
Hello Video Community, a video cannot be played. Deleting cookies does not help. According to the developer tool F12 in Chrome, error messages come from suspected CDN's. GET 400 Bad Request https://westeurope1-mediap.svc.ms/transform/videotranscode/8889cff9eb011943565d1b48801ea96ac9a... [Report Only] Refused to frame 'https://login.microsoftonline.com/' because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: “frame-src ‘self’ https://support.office.com https://webshell.suite.office.com/ *.cloud.microsoft”. This video runs a little better in Microsoft Edge, but the error message still appears at some point. Is there a solution here?
How do I create a link to a video page that does not break if the file is moved in the site?
If I use the share button, it creates a link with an absolute path. The links break if the video is moved, even in the same site. You can use the document ID method but those links go direct to the mp4 file, and not to the page. Surely I can create permanent links to video pages.Consistently Poor Video Quality (Auto) Despite Very Fast Speeds
Hi. I'm seeing about 16 Megabytes / second internet speed when I run a internet speed test. According to the test: Your Internet connection should be able to handle multiple devices streaming HD videos, video conferencing, and gaming at the same time. Despite this, when I upload a 1080p video to Stream and when I hit the play button, it consistently auto plays at the lowest resolution (at most 480p, but typically 240p). I've tried encoding the video file multiple different ways, including at a low bit-rate (1 Mbps) and a very high bit-rate (40 Mbps) but it never auto plays at 1080p or even 720p. If I click on some point in the play bar while the Quality is set to "Auto", it will adjust based on bandwidth and begin playing the video back at 1080p. And obviously, if I manually change the playback quality to HD, it will play the video in HD. But my viewers don't necessarily know this hack. From their perspective, they hit the Play button and the video just looks crappy and it's a terrible user experience. Why, if our internet speeds are considered very fast, does Stream automatically play an HD video at 480p or 240p? Why does it take me either manually changing the quality or clicking somewhere on the play bar to change the Quality settings and make the video playback at HD?
Microsoft Stream latest updates have made it useless
This is a complaint about the recent changes to Microsoft Stream especially adding ClipChamp. I can no longer use Microsoft Stream for work and now have to rely on OBS or some other method to get recordings and transcripts. 0) You used to be able to find streams that you attended. Now under the current changes it impossible to find those stream recordings. Across multiple departments and inter-government agencies. The changes have caused a loss of training. 1) The record button for teams is not working properly for guest outside my Microsoft networking (especially when I am the guest and its a training provide by Microsoft). You used to be able to receive transcripts of trainings from Microsoft. These were link to the stream recordings. However, now those same transcripts give a one drive error and are no longer accessible. 2) You used to be able to record a longer than 15 minutes, but then trim it down. It use to allow you to ignore the time limit to split the file into smaller chunks. Then you could delete those splits where the recording had issues. Then you splice them back together as long as the end video remained under 15 minutes. This is currently not possible with the current version of Microsoft Streams. You are not allowed to have true control and editing power of what you record. I am sorry, but until this fixed. I will have to ask my department to consider using different meeting software to hold important meetings and record. P.S. In the future please carefully consider the business needs of your clients before making changes that break the usefulness of the software.Change in Stream viewer analytics & other delayed behavior
We have been getting reports that the view count is not reflected current state. I've tested this myself and watching a video does not add to the count of viewed. Previously this was counted in real time, but it appears to now be delayed by a day or more. We also have reports from a user that uploaded a new video file which they confirmed was uploaded bc they had a link and can view the video in Stream, but cannot see it listed with the other Stream files under "recent" or "created by me" in the Stream or Office UI. Anyone else getting these reports? I'm not seeing any notifications in the admin center.
