Stream license needed for Stream on ODSP?
Hi all, I'm trying to find out if the Stream license (in our case the feature "Microsoft Stream for Office 365 E5" in license "Office 365 E5") is needed for anything at all in the new Stream pla...
- Nope! The existing Stream license is not used for Stream on SharePoint. At this point in time we have no plans to use that going forward. You just need license to SharePoint as all videos are stored in SharePoint and onedrive in the new system.
You can de license your users from Stream classic!

MarcelDeVries - Sooo... Based on your question I pushed a little further on our engineering team and did a test myself of disabling the Stream license for a user. It turns out that the upcoming setting to allow you to change the Stream tile to point to stream.office.com does still require the Stream license. I was wrong.
I'm working with our engineering team to determine if we want to keep it that way or ignore the Stream license when you have the Stream tile pointing at stream.office.com.
However, it's only the Stream tile in the app launcher that's looking at the existing Stream license. None of our other code is and we don't have plans for it to. So I was sort of right on my original answer.
- Hi Marc, thanks for your addition. I'm interested in how this will be rolled out. Maybe it's possible to configure the Stream tile to automatically redirect users without the license to stream.office.com with the ability for admins to override using the upcoming setting?
