    Bilaledelbi We don’t have a MS Graph API for transcripts. 

    What are you wanting to do with sending them to OpenAI? Stream copilot is coming early next year to chat with the transcript and ask questions directly while watching the video. And we are working with M365 copilot to see if they can include video’s transcript in cross tenant copilot queries. So I wonder if your solution could be replaced with what’s coming from Microsoft directly soon?

      Marc Mroz Hello Marc.
      It's a customer requirement to include a way to ask azure open ai questions and for the azure open ai to answer with the video and the timestamp it was answered at.

      I was able to come with a work around (not tested fully yet)
      which is to use MS graph api to get the videos and upload them to azure ai video indexer 
      after that get the transcription as a vtt file
      probably not the best approach nor the most efficient but it's gonna have to make do maybe until early next year thank you.
