Editing a video saved to OneDrive/SharePoint
Once we begin saving all TMRs to OneDrive - how will we edit those videos to trim, set a title, description or new thumbnail? Will we have to upload the video to Stream? If we do that, once the changes are made, do we then have to save back to OneDrive in order to be able to share? How do we make someone else an owner of a video besides the recorder or organizer of the Teams Meeting? Seems like the change to OneDrive is going to make working with videos way more complicated. Is there any how-to guidance/training from Microsoft for end-users on how to work with videos now that they will be saved to OneDrive/SharePoint first? Thank you,Insert Stream (SharePoint) Link in PowerPoint
Good Morning everyone, and a Happy New Year, first of all! We have recently started using MS Teams for Webinars we conduct with external customers. As we are using PowerPoint Live for sharing slides, we would love to insert Stream (SharePoint) video links into our PowerPoints. However, inserting Online Videos with a SharePoint link is currently not supported (see error message below). We can only insert Stream (Classic) video links - the drawback of that solution is that it does not work for external webinar attendees. Are there any plans to allow the insertion of Stream (SharePoint) videos? Will those videos be accessible then to external users that do not have a Stream account within our own organization? Thanks and best regards, Max von Armansperg These new
REPOST - MIcrosoft Stream (15min Max Screen Recording Limit)
Hi guys, just reposting this as never got any responses on my last post Why does microsoft stream only allow me to screen record for a maximum of 15min??? I am trying to record some video training tutorials for & seems kind of ridiculous why screen recording would be limited to 15min?? Appreciate any help 🙂
How to autoplay video in sharepoint (teams)
Hi, I have listed out some videos in Teams (using a sharepoint-video template). But when you click on each video, a new window opens (stream). And then I have to click once more to start the video. Is it possible to start the video directly from the sharepoint-site in Teams.Caption/transcription generation issues?
The option to generate captions/transcriptions for videos stored in SharePoint/OneDrive has been working fine in our tenant for months, but yesterday users started reporting an error message. When attempting to generate captions, the message indicated that the request could not be completed. By late evening (10 PM EST), the request process was working, but as of 9:30 this morning, no captions have been generated, even for very short videos. There's nothing in the Service Health section of the admin center, so not sure what's going on. EDIT: I just tried requesting captions in another tenant and am getting the same message as yesterday We're having trouble generating a transcript and captions right now. Try again in a bit.✨Get embed code for video in SharePoint or OneDrive
As of this morning October 3, 2022 we rolled out the ability to get an embed code for a video uploaded to SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, or Yammer. GCC coming in soon. From the ODB or SPO document library preview player: ... on action bar > Embed From the Stream web app player page: Share > Embed code Just make config changes to how you want the embed code to work, copy the iFrame embed code, and paste it on to your internal web page.
MP4 audio only, video is blank/black
Hello, perhaps this is a bug or pilot error, we'll see. I'm running Windows 11. On both Firefox and Chrome, some recently sharepoint shared MP4 videos (HEVC encoding) that I uploaded manually are not displaying their video, but the audio plays fine. In the upper left of the player page is reads "Stream", so hopefully I am reaching the right community. The curious/suspicious/embarrassing/infuriating thing is when I enable "Noise suppression" on the player, the video is displayed along with muted/garbled audio whenever music plays. If I download the video file from Sharepoint, I can play it locally with VLC or Windows Media properly. The magic "just works" formula I am searching for here is: Noise suppression=false + playing video frames=true + streaming=true. 😉 Is there a non-player mode/parameter I could toggle on a share link that would let the browser do the streaming on the video file directly? Thanks, Dave Woldrich
Rolling out - Custom thumbnails & title & description metadata
We started rollout of new capabilities to video and audio files stored in SharePoint, OneDrive, Yammer, and Teams allowing you to set a custom thumbnail for a video as well as set the title and description of the video. The description is rich text so you can add bold, italics, underline, bullets, and hyperlinks. Currently as of June 2, 2022 these features are enabled to 50% of normal worldwide users. To set a custom thumbnail... Play a video, open the side pane "Video settings" Under "Thumbnail" Upload an image or scrub to a time in the video and use that as the thumbnail To set the title and description for a video... Play a video, open the side pane "About video" Set the title and/or description of the video (including rich text and hyperlinks) Click saveThere's a problem loading the video
I have a number of staff getting an error message playing back Stream (on SharePoint) video content in Chrome browser, it works fine in Edge. The error that pops up is There's a problem loading the video. Something might be outdated or not supported. Please try again. Try again, and report an issue are the two options below. If staff try again multiple times, the error persists. If staff use an InCognito window, the video will playback fine so it looks like a cache issue, we tried to clear the entire browser's cache, but the error persists. This was our first attempt at mass playback with Stream (on SharePoint) and sadly didn't go over very well. My skepticism is leading me to believe this is a playback at scale issue, and Edge simply took precedence over other browsers playing it back. Has anyone else experienced this and have any insight to share?
Stream API
Hi everyone. I'm trying to understand if there will be the possibility to have Stream API in the near future. My need is to download the autogenerated transcript, translate it via online services, and then load the new transcript file back on the video. Do u have any advice? thanks MicheleEmbedding Stream videos outside Office environment
In Stream (Classic), users have the ability to generate embed (iframe) code. This enables users to embed the videos in environments outside the Office suite - such as in blogs and web sites. As an HE institution, we encourage our instructors to use this feature to embed the videos in their online courses. This is so students do not need to leave the LMS environment to view the videos. Has anyone seen whether or not an embed feature will be added to SharePoint and OneDrive for Business to replace the feature as it exists currently in Stream (Classic)?Can't upload VTT caption files
For the past month or so, I have been completely unable to upload .vtt captions files to videos hosted on SharePoint/SP Streams. Every time I try, I receive the following error: At this point I've attempted to upload multiple caption files on multiple browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari), multiple computers, and two different organizational SharePoint instances - nothing works. Going without captions or using autogenerated (which are also not functioning correctly) isn't an option here either since we have to meet accessibility requirements that require specific caption formatting. Is there anything that I (or my account permissions) could be doing to cause this, or is it a larger issue with SP Streams in general?Share file for download in MS Stream (SharePoint)
I keep running across posts where folks have been asking to be able to share a file in Stream for download but have not been able to find an answer as to why MS have not implemented such a feature. Am I missing something? Uservoice no longer accessible. Is this the correct place?
