Post Stream Classic migration analysis of video usage in a SharePoint site for Orphan videos
Will there be analytics per SharePoint site on video views? This would allow us to delete unviewed videos sometime in 2025 after redirect links are severed. We have a very large and complex organization. It's probably easier to migrate Orphan video containers to a generic SharePoint site than to try to parse out and filter videos before migration.

SteveUlrichTE - SharePoint site analytics already include video files so you can get some info per SP site. But I don't know that there is enough info to determine what you are looking for with the orphaned content or not.
See this for more info: View usage data for your SharePoint site - Microsoft Support
- Thanks Marc for that info and link. Our current wish is that at some time in the future to delete Orphaned videos that have not been viewed after migration. So a report that we can turn into a script to delete unwatched videos.
SteveUlrichTE We are going to try Microsoft Purview with queries such as the one below. You can testdrive these queries in the SP Search Query Tool if you dont have access to Purview. You will receive only the videos you have access to then of course:
