Missing Publish to Microsoft Stream in Powerpoint 2016
I am signed in to PowerPoint as my work account(official E5 licensed Office 365 account). I have all the time been signed as my work account - Not my personal account (they are very different emails). I am also signed in on my computer as my work account.
In Powerpoint I have all the time been able to see under account; user information: my work account email address (and of course my name :-))
Today I removed the service "oneDrive personal" and closed powerpoint. Then I opend again with no change.
No change to the customize ribbon - still the same as yesterday. No change to the Recording tab - same options as yesterday.
I will reboot later - don't have the time right now :-) and see if it helps.
Well done for persisting. It looks like it's not a usual issue I've encountered yet. I'm interested to see how it is resolved as it could well be an issue that crops up for many of the institutions I work with.
I'm clutching at straws here but could it be the region and language you're using may not be supported? I'm in UK with English UK.

I looked to see if it's in my version of Office and it was, after saving a document to OneDrive for Business it appeared a few seconds afterwards, admittedly this is on the latest version of PowerPoint, 1902.

Hey hey!! I just read the whole thread, but still couldn't solve. I was able to see the "publish to stream" option before but now is just gone. I do see it under customize the ribbon, and I am also signed with my O365 account. Also, I do have the 1805 PP version. Therefore, really no clue what I am missing. Any ideas on how I could troubleshoot?

Hi All,
Yesterday I got my update channel changed to Monthly (it used to be semi-annual) and I also got an update of my office so I now have Version 1809 (Build 10827.20181 Chck-to-Run). Now I see the Stream option. So perhaps the version with the option is NOT the one sited by MS, but rather 1809 :-/

Hello Everyone,
I went to the help counter at a Microsoft store in Boston. They also could not figure out why I didn't have the "publish to Microsoft Stream" in PowerPoint 2016. They suggested I email the problem to Microsoft support but nobody from Microsoft answered me.
My school's MIS dept also doesn't know why our teachers can't get it on their computers either.

I am in Denmark, but I have english menus in office - I also seem to remember that I set my Office 365 language settings to English (not sure if it is US or UK...) So in my appliactions and in Office 365 my language is English.
Perhaps I just need to wait... Even though I think Stream Publish should have rolled out by now.
Thanks for trying to help tapb.
I will try again Monday and see what happens, because I really would love to have that option in PowerPoint :-)
