Issues with permissions again
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.

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!
