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
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.
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?
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?
MS Stream Analytics Not Working
Hello, I have a playlist of training videos. I enabled seeing the names of viewers on the SharePoint site settings. This worked fine until recently. Now not only do I not see the names, but the actual viewer count in Stream does not change either. I have confirmed with staff and faculty that they have watch the latest video, but the viewer count doesn't change and the viewer names are not added. I didn't change anything with my playlist or videos that I have been using for almost a year. Older videos that show for example 60 viewers, if watched now, no not change the viewer count either. Any ideas why analytics would not be working since about June? Thanks, DebbieSetting up video portal site for Stream (on SharePoint) to disallow downloads of videos
We want to set the site-wide permissions on a SharePoint comms site to prevent most users from being able to download the videos (but to be able to watch them, of course). The View Only permission that's built into SharePoint doesn't seem to work for video files (Office file types do work). Surely there is a way to do this? Marc Mroz
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?Video 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.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 save
