mp4 not playing video in teams
Hi My daughter is on Teams for school, because of the corona lock down. The teacher put a mp4 on the group, but when i play, it wont play the video in Teams. When download, it plays in media play...
- Hi shalston
Upload the MP4 to Stream, Create a Stream Channel, add the Stream Channel as a tab in Teams. Stream is the designed app to play video in Microsoft 365, not Teams
Here is a guide I wrote some time ago how to do it. Hope it helps

Hi LSP_242 I am head of Computing at an English secondary school and can confirm I am having this issue too. I am uploading screen recorded feedback videos from PowerPoint and then after a week or so they stop playing. Each can be played by opening in Sharepoint but that's not much use for the students. Chrome on Windows 10.

Best, ChrisChrisHoardMVP Thanks Chris I have a lot on Stream for lessons embedded into Onenote, but it's a workaround not a solution; why is there an inbuilt non-functional mp4 player in Teams ThereseSolimeno ?
