MicrosoftThe inserting a Stream link into a deck follows the permission of the video file itself not the permission of the deck. So you do need to make sure the permission match the audience.
If you upload the video file itself into the deck not a link then PowerPoint Live can control the permission of the whole deck to the meeting attendees.
We are aware that when presenting a deck with a stream link the desired result is that everyone on the call sees the video even external people the same way if you just screen shared.
It’s a very complicated problem to solve and so far we’ve not been able to come up with an acceptable and performant solution.
Feel free to add votes on the Stream ideas forum and PowerPoint ideas to raise awareness of need.

So what happen if I have a meeting ... with external and go directly into stream and share the video. Not linking it into PowerPoint - will I have the same problem?
- Marc MrozI don’t quite understand your last question. How would you be sharing the video into the meeting? Screen sharing? Or do you mean sending the external people a link for them to watch on their own outside the meeting? If the later then videos have the same link capabilities as other files. You share a link with guests or via anyone link, but your organization has to have those enabled and allowed.
- What I'm trying to say is: Since PowerPoint controls access - what will happen if I share a link to the movie itself in Stream instead of showing it in meeting. Let's say something like this in a remote meeting: Unfortunately, we can't use Stream in a powerpoint with people who don't have access. We must therefore share the link to the film and you must click on it yourself to see it. It may seem a bit unprofessional and old-fashioned that in a Digital Meeting you can't show movies via PowerPoint, But in a normal meeting with external parties, you can freely show it.
