We are working on this ability to add a video from SharePoint into a ppt deck like works for classic. It's going slowly due to hard technical issues and performance issues. We are working on it but feel free to add your idea and votes to our new feedback portal: https://aka.ms/streamideas However you can get a similar experience by uploading the video inside the ppt itself. That works with PowerPoint live in a teams meeting to play back the video on everyone's machine directly. Not sure that works with webinars or not through.

Has there been any progress on this?   Now that Stream (Classic) has been blocked... our workflow has been disrupted. Videos created in your org cannot be embedded via link in a PowerPoint - only embedded as a file - which as mentioned here - crashes the presentation when made over Teams.

 

In Stream Classic we used Insert > Video > Online Videos and provided the URL.  Now with Stream (for SharePoint) the URL is not recognized.    Now our only option is use a different platform without the organizational security of SharePoint. 

 

This is a year and some months later.  Has there been any progress?  Can you recommend a workaround?

    @Marc Mroz What on Earth is Microsoft doing????

    We migrated all of our video resources from Stream Classic as suggested. Now we have no way of inserting videos into Powerpoint, which we were able to do previously.

    Why have Microsoft become so poor at ensuring their products work adequately before rolling them out? Businesses are being used as guinea pigs to find all the faults, only to find Microsoft are too busy breaking other application to fix anything.

    The functionality Microsoft provide needs to be kept in place when 'improving' applications. Perhaps testing properly BEFORE rolling out?

    This is a mess and we are all getting sick and tired of Microsoft shrugging their shoulders and saying 'What the heck, let's just roll it out deal with the bugs some other time.'

    Microsoft are a multi billion dollar organisation. Can they not act like one?

      Yes! I could embed from Stream before but not now! I thought all these O365 tools were supposed to work seamlessly together??!!

      This is absolutely horrible of Microsoft. I can link a stream video (Stream on SharePoint) if I've got the video synced with the company OneDrive, but then the link goes to the source on my local machine. All I want to do is get a link (or an embed code) and paste that in PowerPoint - just like I can with Youtube videos.
