Embedding Stream videos outside Office environment
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.
- Thanks again for sharing this update Baardaap - the reply is incredibly disappointing as it indicates a lack of understanding on how Stream Classic has been used, and how organisations need to use video streaming. It is also indicates that the author doesn't realise perhaps that Stream on SharePoint does offer Closed Captions and Transcript in quite helpful ways.
Just so disappointing as this is a deal breaker .... why have a video streaming tool that prevents embedding due to a permissions issue ... hard to understand....- They have now asked me to create a fiddler file trough SaRa reproducing the issue...
I'm not to sure if the file is useful to them as it's only 6kb in size...
I also provided them with steps to reproduce the issue themselves.
I feel as if they are just trying to keep me busy as I already provided enough information to either solve it or just tell me that it won't be fixed.- Baardaap join the Stream Product Team Office Hours and ask there. Bring your support ticket number so that they can look it up and give you some guidance.

- I guess Microsoft just expects us to use SharePoint...
I'm pretty sure they won't change the site settings of Sharepoint to allow embedding but maybe they can provide us with an alternate solution.
Tomorrow I'll have a call with our Microsoft accountmanager to see if he can help get to a solution.Replied to support that I did not agree with their statement, current status is that they are 'relating this issue internally' and I will have word back 'as soon as we are done with our investigation'.
Also had a call with our Microsoft representative and she will try to escalate this internally as well.
