Baardaap I too have an open ticket with MS and I am also having a horrible response. My ticket has been open since 1/6/23. I too have sent videos and even had a screen sharing session. They have not been able to figure out what is wrong or atleast have not told me anything. At one point they even tried to close the ticket. I would not let them do that. I also have sent them the link to this forum so they are aware it's more than one person having issue.

    Ron I just had a call with them after a week waiting since I send the video and their response is that they will not allow this kind of embedding trough sharepoint due to security reasons and that I should accept this as a solution. I have asked them to send me this in a witten response so I can maybe escalate the issue to our microsoft contact.

    I did not yet receive the witten response (which i will copy here).

     

    Any questions I had they did not want to or could not answer... Like why will we get a 'new' stream with less functionality.

      Baardaap This sounds alot like what they were trying to do to me. Everytime they tell me something stupid like that I asked them why they're on "how to - Embedding Stream content in third-party sites" article does not work. Microsoft is telling us this is how we are suppose to do this but it does not work. Priceless...
      Ironically I got an update to my ticket right after I submitted the last post. All it said was "I am still awaiting feedback from the backend.".

      Will let you know as soon as I hear anything else.

        Response from Microsoft. I can't say I agree with this statement as we're not trying to use 3rd party tools on sharepoint, we just need some changes to sharepoint to allow us to embed a 'sharepoint' page into another website. The website we want to embed the sharepoint on does not really 'interact' with sharepoint so it does not impact sharepoint's at all.

        I Apologize for the delayed response.
         
        Please note that SharePoint does not support the use of third-party tools. We understand that you may be interested in using third-party tools to enhance.

         

        your SharePoint. experience, but unfortunately, SharePoint is not designed to support these types of tools.
         
        There are a few reasons why SharePoint does not support third-party tools. First and foremost, SharePoint is a complex system that requires careful management.

         

        and configuration. to ensure that it is secure, stable, and reliable. Third-party tools can introduce unpredictable behavior or security vulnerabilities.

         

        that can compromise the integrity of the SharePoint environment.
         
        Like you said that you are able embedded video through stream classic.
         
        Stream Classic and SharePoint are two different platforms used for different purposes. Here is a brief overview of the differences between them:
         
        Purpose: Stream Classic is a video hosting and streaming platform, while SharePoint is a collaboration and document management platform.
         
        Features: Stream Classic is designed specifically for hosting, managing, and streaming videos. It includes features like automatic transcription and closed captions, video analytics,

         

        and the ability to create video channels and playlists. SharePoint, on the other hand, includes a wide range of features for collaboration and document management, including document libraries, version control, workflows, and team sites.
         

        Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any question regarding this support request.
         
         
         I look forward to your response.
