Error message - Generating transcript
"We're having trouble generating a transcript and captions right now. Try again in a bit." is the error message our video team sees when generating transcripts. They have to wait around ten minutes and refresh the page for it to clear, which is a major annoyance. What is this error, and why is it happening?aka8941Feb 04, 2025Copper Contributor1.7KViews0likes6CommentsRolling 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 saveMarc MrozFeb 03, 2025Microsoft10KViews3likes29CommentsREPOST - 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 🙂Chris_455Jan 29, 2025Copper Contributor24KViews1like6CommentsModify playlist view to add additional field?
I want to use the stream playlist view to curate a community training video series that we have been hosting for our new PMO. We have monthly training calls that we record, but we also want to make the link to the PPT slides visible within a playlist format. I was hoping there might be a way to modify the view of a playlist in a similar fashion to editing other MS List views but I can't seem to figure it out. Ideally wanted to be able to show a button in the sidebar thing.

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.stuartmcgarrityJan 22, 2025Brass Contributor21Views0likes0CommentsConsistently 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?patrickfoustJan 14, 2025Copper Contributor36Views0likes0CommentsVideo Quality Default Setting
I'm a video creator at my org. So, I'm generally viewing things through a hybrid, technical+creative lens. As we begin to share internal videos via Stream (SP), I'm regularly noticing that the video quality playback settings are set to "Auto." Often, that leads to the video playing entirely in a low resolution, where it's mostly pixelated; even the thumbnail image previews with the same low resolution. I understand there are various contributing factors here, but I also discovered that users can toggle the video settings to "1080p." Still, it always defaults back to "auto." I'm wondering if there is a way to lock that setting to 1080p for all users within our organization, because it's not realistic to communicate such a setting change to all users.M1StorytellerJan 06, 2025Copper Contributor4.5KViews0likes13CommentsMS stream + copilot. Searching the entire video catalogue
Hi, is it possible to use the copilot integration with Microsoft stream to ask queries regarding the entire catalogue (e.g. "In which video was X discussed?"). I can only see info about using copilot to ask questions about a certain video.marijnportegiesJan 04, 2025Copper Contributor122Views1like2CommentsMicrosoft 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.afrstatDec 19, 2024Copper Contributor62Views0likes0CommentsCaption/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.Chad_V_KealeyDec 18, 2024Steel Contributor15KViews6likes34Comments
