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!
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?And here we are almost into 2024, and still no further forward.
Nice one Microsoft, keep on pushing out crippled solutions as an "upgrade" why don't you?
The lack of basic functionality in Teams, especially given the worsening of the application over time, makes it a trial for users. I suspect that the only reason this beta-like application survives is that the users are not the people who decide which application is used - so people in organisation are forced to use Teams because their organisation have made the decision to get into bed with MS. How else could one explain the continued use of a woeful application, provided by an IT company that appears to care not one jot for the problems of the users? We complain, but nothing happens other than (at best) patronising messages telling us 'it's on the list' and, meanwhile, we have to suck it up. Thanks for nothing, Microsoft.
