Sharing a Video using Anonymous links no longer allows users to download video
- The fix for this has been deployed, you should see the download button again in view mode for viewers who have access to download the video. Thanks for your patience.
MicrosoftJithinR2380 - We made this change in behavior based on the new "Edit / Preview" mode for the Stream player page. Users who have View permission no longer see options for copy or download. This was based on user feedback that if a user has view access even though ODB and SP allow download and copy with that permission most content owners don't want that, so we just removed those buttons in the "View" mode. If the user navigates to the folder in ODB or SP library they'll still have the download button from there. But we don't have plans to add back the download button in the View mode even for users with view permission that technically allows download.
Marc Mroz Thanks for the response Marc. Can you please clarify why the https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=375188 mentions that it's only "Can view, but not download" that is being called out as the option to stop users from downloading the video. In that case, the roadmap item text makes it seem like "Can view" would continue to allow users to download the video.
