Uploading and playing videos in SharePoint modern sites

I searched a lot of threads an they were either ~2 years old or talked about using Stream/O365 Video.

 

On our new Modern site, I uploaded three MP4 videos to a both a SharePoint Asset Library and Video library (activated video and rich media feature).  I am trying to find the embed code so I can embed the video on our home page, but I don't seem to be able to find it.  Is there a way to upload MP4 videos to Modern SharePoint site and then embed them into web page?  I can only get link and when I add the link, it doesn't look nice vs. embedded videos

 

Also, does anybody know if SharePoint online modern sites' 'support MP4 videos?  I imagine hundreds of users may watch this video at a time.

 

We don't want to use Stream as it prompts the users to log in

 

thoughts?

  • Upload your videos to the Stream service that supports your file format. You can use the Stream web part in a modern page and embed either the video or the whole channel you associated the video with.

      Thanks Alan Marshall , after testing a few things, we are now using Stream, just had to tweak a few settings in Office 365

       

      For anybody else who comes across this thread, save time and use Streams, seems like after doing homework this is the official / supported / best practice way of storing/ embedding videos in SharePoint Modern sites online is using Stream or Office 365 video

        JHerschel   does this method require video viewers to have microsoft login?

         

        I understand that Streams requires company login.  Do I misundertand and this allows a streams video to be embedded in a Sharepoint Public File Site (one that allows anonymous links)?
