MS Forms - embedded stream vidoes for externals don't work
Yes, thats a pitty.
I read somewhere that Stream actually have problems to share videos in Forms without any permissions (for external exams for example). I played also around and tried to use OneDrive links (what sometimes seems to work better than the Stream URL's). But i still have issues that even logged in users can't see the videos because different sharepoint errors (mostly permission errors) or the browsers need to open the video in a new tab (Firefox).
And all this without any use of a complicated permission system in our organisation. Just make a form, put a video on Stream, share it with "Organisation Members" and then share the form with them. After all this i have 4 different results on 4 different browsers. Sorry Microsoft, but this is a mess.
I also spend alot of time to make nice forms for externals. Totaly senceless..
Don't get me wrong, in my eyes MS Forms is a really nice software and works like a charm - until u try to put a simple video in it 😞
- I have also just spent an entire morning doing exactly what you describe with no working results. I've tried sharing via Steam, Google Drive Onedrive and so on. The link works fine even in an incognito browser but not in Microsoft forms. If I publish the video on Youtube, it works, but then on the other hand I get a lot of advertising. Everything else in the form works great except for the small detail with the video. I also tried turning the document into a Google form, but unfortunately Google has no support for embedding a video at all, only a link to one. It's a shame that our company pays for Office 365 and yet the form doesn't work properly...
- Yes, and until now no solution or even a single sign of life from Microsoft.
