Issues with permissions again
I have someone who has her stream in OneDrive, they all say anyone with the link however, no everyone can see them? Is there some trick to get this to work?
Are there still issues with the new stream and embedding videos vs. links??
Jennifer Loudiana For embed to work you need to set direct permissions on the video as share links only work when someone clicks the specific link you created. We don’t have share links tied to embed codes.
Thus you need to go to Manage access, and in the upper right there is a button to Grant access. From there type in the security groups, m365 groups, or users you want to access the video via embed and grant them access. Or you can type in “everyone except external users” which if enabled in your organization will make everyone except guests instantly have access to that video.
And sharing those videos from OneDrive is risky as when or if that person leaves the files in OneDrive are deleted.

- Karen - so I have more details. This is from a direct upload to the new Stream. They click on Share and choose the embed option. Only the owner and the I.D. who manages the folder can see them. Everyone else has to request access. Where do we need to change these permissions so when we pull an embed code it works?

Jennifer Loudiana - Try this...
- Open the video up in the Stream web player.
- Share
- Manage access
- Click the + person icon in the top right in Manage access to "Grant access"
- Type in the security groups you want to have access or if it's enabled in your organization type in "Everyone except external users"
- Pick the access level you want to grant access for
- Uncheck notify
- Click "Grant access"
This assigns permissions directly to the file. When you go through "Share" it's only a link and users have to click the clink to get access and that doesn't work with Embed.
Marc Mroz Thank you! This is helpful!
- Hi Jennifer.
You haven't provided quite enough detail for me to completely answer your questions. First question you asked. . . is your user storing a video(s) in OneDrive and then using the "Share" button to email someone a link to view the video? Or are they using that "Share" link to add it to an email? Or. . . are they using a "Share" link from OneDrive to attempt to post a video to a SharePoint web page on your intranet? Also, was the video migrated from Stream Classic or did they just upload it to OneDrive themselves?
There is a new section of documentation that may help you related to permissions at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/streamnew/migration-details#permissions-and-destinations.
The issues with embedding videos vs links appears to be resolved per the Bug tracking list here:

These were not migrated, just loaded into OneDrive and they are embedding in an LMS and have set to anyone with the link can view or edit. People are getting the request access option when they see it and once they are added as an individual to the video they can see it.- Marc Mroz
