Embedding Stream videos outside Office environment
In Stream (Classic), users have the ability to generate embed (iframe) code. This enables users to embed the videos in environments outside the Office suite - such as in blogs and web sites. As an HE...
I assume those environments use oembed functionality from stream classic to retreive the iframe code. For other services sometimes the preview URL can be derived from the original. In this case we need the meta data UniqueId, assuming this is the driveItem id, or from an object representing the share related to the driveItem. Just adding this since I havn't seen this mentioned in detail. Hopefully this is addressed in the ticket Baardaap has initiated?
marcobus don't know if I understood you correctly but I don't think this is mentioned in my ticket as my issue with the placement of the cookies for authentication on sharepoint that can't happen trough the Iframe. Once a user has authenticated on sharepoint the issue is gone but since we dont use sharepoint the user is unlikely to have these cookies in place.
In any case my ticket has been put on ice as the issue now lays with 'the product team'.
I have given up on the issue or a solution for it as support was worse than terrible... Seems the hostingprovider will do an update soon that will allow embedding so that should solve it for me.
- Baardaap I think you will find that the product team will be more helpful than general support was. They have been very responsive to people who have joined the office hours they hold. You can sign up for those and talk to the team directly at https://aka.ms/StreamConnect.
