    oiverson nonono, do not just upload them to SharePoint. It wasn't built for handling videos and if you get lots of people viewing a video simultaneously you may well get bad buffering. Your initital thought about using Stream is the right way to approach this as it was built specifically for this purpose and the videos can be played nicely in a SharePoint page with chapters etc.

Bharath Arja seems like RobElliott has the better answer in terms of performance.

 

Thanks for your comment though - I knew that Stream videos were now being stored in Sharepoint, which is what prompted my question - why not just go directly to Sharepoint?

 

I think I'll stick with Stream and embed the videos in my Sharepoint pages.

Want to add one more point - if you go with uploading videos to Stream (Classic) and embedding the them in SharePoint, within a year or so you have to go back and do a migration to move content out of Stream (Classic).
