Notification when video encoding is done

Is there a way to notify the user(s) when encoding of the video is complete? I've uploaded videos and they don't show up in the Stream Library for quite some time. It would be helpful to see some type of placeholder in the library that provides an update when the video will finish processing OR maybe an email to notify the user that it has started and when it is done. 

  • When you upload any file into a SharePoint library, there should be a spinning wheel next to the name of the view (most likely "All Documents") in the upper right-hand corner of your video library while the video is uploading. If you click on that spinning wheel, a panel will open that shows you the status of the upload. That is how I monitor video uploads to determine when they are complete.

  • In addition to Karen's update, note that Stream (on SharePoint) does not do any encoding of the video like Stream (Classic) did.
