Uploading and playing videos in SharePoint modern sites
- 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
Hi,
I saw your post and thought, OK I'll try streams. It might be OK in someplaces, but the video just did not play. I used an YouTube embed instead, via the embed web part since the YouTube webpart refused to work.
I'm running this from, and my users are in, Rwanda, so it's possible that the video is not cached anywhere near Rwanda and the performance might be worse than most people's experience.
But thanks for your suggestion. It did make me look at streams.
