Identify how to programmatically locate the transcript of each video
Happy Thursday, I had a request from one of our content managers that I was not able to answer so I thought this would be the appropriate place to ask. "help to identify how to programmatical...
Happy Friday Marc,
Thank you as always for being a real resource on this endeavor/project and I appreciate you for it.
We were trying to replicate back-end functionality.
We have a database tool for managing digital assets.
The team was able to use the tool to select videos and search by specific words in the transcript to start the video from.
Using the tool, they were able to return the user the transcript and navigate using the transcript links.
As I understand it this was an important search feature that was part of the digital asset management tool, and they are no longer able to do it.
Is there some way to replicate this on the new platform?

Thanks in advance.
Have a great weekend.
Cheers!

MicrosoftThere are search APIs in MS Graph. And since the transcript of videos is in Microsoft Search index you can query via APIs and get videos returned across your tenant or from specific sites. So instead of searching on your digital asset database, search for videos via transcript in M365?
Beyond that I can’t think of anything else unless you took a dependency on private APIs which could change / break without warning.
We have it on our radar to expose more things like transcript via MS Graph, but I can’t promise anything at this time.

- Hi Marc,
I'm part of gbryant11 team and I have been working on this item.
We are able to fetch Sharepoint stream videos. But is there any API to fetch the sharepoint stream videos along with transcript?
Thanks,

SathishJI - As mentioned above we do not have a Graph API for transcripts for videos.
You can use Graph Search APIs to search for the videos which would search the transcript or you could use the built in Search for M365 or SharePoint to find videos based on transcripts.
But we do not have the capability setup for you to extract all the info from videos that you can use in the UI.
Marc Mroz What I would like is an option to programmaticaly trigger transcript generation for videos that dont have it. Autogeneration was/will be turned on only after our migration, I'd like to get transcripts for all/a lot of videos in the tenant so the contents are searchable.
- Happy Tuesday Marc,
I sent this info over to the team yesterday and I'm still awaiting a response. Thank you, this was helpful as always!
Cheers.
