Editing a video saved to OneDrive/SharePoint
MicrosoftOnce we begin saving all TMRs to OneDrive - how will we edit those videos to trim, set a title, description or new thumbnail? Will we have to upload the video to Stream? If we do that, once the changes are made, do we then have to save back to OneDrive in order to be able to share?
Trimming a video, setting title/description, and custom thumbnails are all things we are working on building into ODB / SPO. When we do ANY video in ODB or SharePoint will get those features. You don't have to "come to Stream" or "put them in Stream". Our new vision is that Stream enhances all videos in ODB/SPO and by doing that any videos you upload to Teams/Yammer/Planner, etc because those just use ODB/SPO as well to store files.
So in the new world you just put your videos in ODB or SPO (or Teams Files tab or upload to Yammer) and you'll be able to do "Streamy" things with them. The Stream web app (when you click on the Stream title from the M365 app launcher) will look more like PowerPoint or Word in Office.com where it helps you find PPTX or DOCX files or make new ones. In the same way Stream will be on office.com to help you find and make new videos across all of M365.
We won't have all those Stream features (trim, title, description, custom thumbs, custom thumbs) by the time all meeting recordings are saved to ODB/SPO. But we will have it shortly after around middle of next calendar year or so. We think that team meeting recordings could move over before we rebuild all those things into ODB/SPO.
How do we make someone else an owner of a video besides the recorder or organizer of the Teams Meeting?
Seems like the change to OneDrive is going to make working with videos way more complicated.
When Teams Meeting Recordings or any video is saved into ODB/SPO it's just a file like any other file. If you want to share or change permissions you just click the "Share" button and create a company shareable link to send on, make a link that grants just that person view or edit, etc. With this change there isn't anything special or different in terms of sharing/permissons on video files over any other file you store in ODB or SharePoint. We think this is going to make things way simpler and easier to understand because now permissions for videos match the same as permissions for other files.
Is there any how-to guidance/training from Microsoft for end-users on how to work with videos now that they will be saved to OneDrive/SharePoint first?
Not yet, this is on our list of things to do. If you have specific articles or areas you'd like us to focus on let us know!
- This is unacceptable.

Any idea on the delivery timeframe of the trim video feature? I see in the Excel that's in the future but there is no roadmap id. Are you working on it?
Thanks- Marc MrozInitial thinking and design has started on adding trim to videos in SharePoint, but engineering hasn't gotten far enough for us to know when it'll be able to be added to the roadmap. We are also working on integrating clipchamp into M365 as well.
We are halfway through 2023. I don't mean to sound negative but seeing this discussion gave me despair.
O then at last relent: is there no place
Left for trimming, none for cutting left?
When creating the editing capabilities for a video, please allow for the audio of the video to be able to be edited also. So sound effects, and music can be edited in, or the audio can be extracted to put
into an audio software such as "audacity". That way Teams can be used for Virtual recordings of musicals.
Our district only allows music educators to use Teams, but we have no way to edit the music, voices,
sound effects when recording a Virtual musical.
Thanks,
Mary Ann
- Moving Teams recordings to SharePoint/OneDrive without continuing to provide an editing capability was a bad idea. I tried the suggested method of downloading and trimming with MS Photos. This both removed the meeting header page and resulted in a file twice the size of the original. Trimming with Stream was a great feature. It was quick, as all the workflow remained online and integrated with Teams. This new process is inferior, elongated, and adds needless large-file data transmission stress to the local network and WAN.
- I second your comment.
- Totally agree that this forced move with less functionality was a bad move. Right after I tell my staff how to use Streams this functionality is just taken away. It's very frustrating.
Marc Mroz So this means that videos saved to SharePoint will not be editable/trimmable until at least the middle of the year? I'm a CEO using Teams/Stream to create, title, trim, set permissions for, and share a short weekly video for hundreds of staff. I can't see any information on how to replace this workflow, even in a workaround way. Once the video is in Sharepoint, I can't see any way of trimming it. Is this the case - that functionality has been taken away? Will have to rethink my entire internal comms strategy if so!
- I second your comments.
Marie-Louise_Ayres Hiya, this might help, we were faced with the same issues, we now use Microsoft Photo, really easy editing tool, it's free here's a link that explains it all :
