Is there the possibility to set Stream (on Sharepoint) to download video only if owner?
I'm migrating video from Microsoft Stream (Classic) to Stream (on Sharepoint).
Previously If I opened a video on Stream (Classic) I was unable to download the video if was not the video owner.
Now If I create a video file and upload it on Sharepoint but I'm not able to see how can implements the same thing. My goal is to permit to add any video in Sharepoint but any other people (not the video owner) must not be able to download the video. Is it possibile?
Best Regards

- Yes, it is possible to configure Stream on SharePoint to allow only the owner to download videos. Microsoft Stream is an enterprise video service that is integrated with SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 applications. Regards, Lalit Mohan
Thanks Lalit Mohan
I'm not able to configure Stream on SharePoint to allow only the owner to download videos.
The only way that I found to avoid the download link is to configure SharePoint site permission without "Open Items" to the SharePoint member group:This bring two problems:
- Anyone in member group add a document in the library is not able to download it, so I've to assign them to the SharePoint owner group
- Anyone in the SharePoint owner group can download the document, not only the owner
- First of this is NOT recommended, managing this will be a headace deluxe:
You don't need a custom group, you need to break the permission of the file. This means that it won't inherite the permissions of the site.
So you need a flow on a specific library which triggers on every new file uploaded, it should do this:
1. Break the permission of the file
2. Remove the groups
3. Add the owner of the file as owner.
4. Add the rest of the users as read only
Try building that and if you get stuck I'll help you out 🙂
- Yes and No!
You can do this if you have a video library and a flow that checks the file and breaks the permission and adds custom permission. But this will only for work that specific library and not global- Thanks NicolasKheirallah
I've a Sharepoint site created using Teams, I've only two groups: "Owner" and "Members".
Could I limit members to add video and not download it?
If I add "Add item" permission automatically I also see the Download link- You need to check the permission under Person and groups. You can find this under Site settings or Under library settings then permissions
