Trim feature removed in new Stream?
Has the trim feature been removed in both the new (SharePoint) Stream and tradtional Stream interface? I discovered this today when attempting to trim a video recorded from a Teams meeting. The ...
I know that not having trim in Stream (on SharePoint) is painful. Full video editing will come with clipchamp being added to enterprise later this year.
It's been a long road for us in the product group to get to a plan for what to do in Stream. We apologize for how long it's taken us. It's not easy for us to just add back the ability that was in Stream (Classic) to SharePoint, the underlying architecture and storage is very different.
Thank you for all the feedback you've shared and all the votes in the ideas forum. We've finally been able to land on a design for a simple trim option directly in Stream. We aren't able to share a timeline or roadmap item yet until we get further on the engineering design and start coding.
Feel free to keep adding your votes and comments to this item in the Ideas forum. (I consolidated the other few ideas into this single one that joined all the votes together):

MicrosoftAny of you who want a Trim feature for videos in ODB/SPO for Stream (on SharePoint), can you add your votes and comments to this idea in the feedback portal?
Can you also give us more details about when and how you need to trim? More information would really help us figure out the right way to build this into ODB/SPO and/or Clipchamp.
Example useful info you could provide us:
- Does your primary use case need the trimmed out part of the video to be fully removed from the video so no one can see it ever? Or would hiding parts of the video be enough?
- What types of videos are you needing to trim?
- What are you trimming out of the video and why?
- Do the videos you are wanting to trim already have extra enhancements on them (chapters, transcript, etc)?

- We really need the trim feature. It's super simple and was in the old version. It does take a long time for the video to process, but at least it worked. There should be a simple trim that allows you to cut out the beginning and/or ends of a video, where there is often unwanted rewatch material.
- we use teams to record webinars. We set to auto record so we don't forget to record. We also start our webinars 15 minutes prior to the start time. There is usually conversation while we are waiting for the webinar to start and we wait at the end until the end time of the session and sometimes that is several minutes of no Q&A and pretty much silence or filler convo. We share the recorded webinars out as training and don't want people to have to sit through 15 minutes of nothing until the session starts and then they sit through an hour of content and Q&A. Trim is a necessity for our company.
- I'm aghast that this needs to be pointed out. Is that hard to have a trim feature?
- I am unable to even upvote this feature as we are tenants of GCC, not the commercial cloud. Is there any consideration on if/when this would also be available for GCC?

Please bring back the "Trim Video" feature per the reasons below. Meanwhile, is there an alternative solution besides downloading the video to a different application and performing the video trimming there?

- I need to fully remove part of the video permanently
- What types of videos are you needing to trim?
- Meeting or Training videos recording using MS Teams
- What are you trimming out of the video and why?
- The beginning and the end of the meeting (as many time user forgets to click 'Stop Recording')
- The middle part of the video (for example if in the middle part of the video, I had to type in user name or password to log into an application as part of the Training video, then I want to remove that section completely).
- Do the videos you are wanting to trim already have extra enhancements on them (chapters, transcript, etc)?
- Usually not, but some training videos could have enhancements like chapters, etc.

Marc Mroz Trimming the front and back ends of a recorded Teams session are my primary uses and would be my first choice (and would restore the prior trim feature that is basic but useful). I completely delete front and back end becuase it's usually banter at the front end before a meeting starts. Back end is usually from forgetting to stop the recording. There are no extra enhancements that I see. Would love to be able to have additional features such as trim within the timeline (other than start and stop) with a transition features. Audio adjustement would also be helpful.
