Insert Stream (SharePoint) Link in PowerPoint
Marc Mroz another functionality in stream classic that is extremely valuable is being able to upload new versions of videos that retain the same URL. This is essential for how we use stream because much of our training content relies on embedded videos. So if the ability to do this goes away, we would have to keep track of every document a video is embedded on and update every single document when one video changes. This is would be so time consuming we would have to find an alternative product because that redundant and tedious effort would have too significant an impact on staff bandwidth. The ability to incorporate MS forms and search the auto-generated transcript is also essential for our employees to search video tutorials and find solutions without having to watch the entire training video.
In all honesty, I don’t understand why Microsoft is sunsetting stream. It just feels like this excellent program that is working extremely well is being replaced by a half-cooked and less valuable program. I don’t understand why Microsoft would replace a product with something worse and less compatible in almost every way. I accept that it is happening, but I am worried this transition is going to make my life miserable and frustrating for several months while I have to replace nearly all the training content I’ve created in addition to my already demanding schedule.
