API and/or PowerShell for managing MS Stream
I will try my luck again (after 2 month of no information or hints) and ask if there is a possibility to retrieve statistical data from MS Stream (see my original post)
Marc Mrozi appreciate any help
thank you
MicrosoftSorry for not responding in a while. We've been heads down getting live events ready and I've not be free to answer here. The first response to your post is still accurate.
We currently do not have any Stream APIs or powershell cmdlets.
There isn't a way to get stats out of Stream programmatically.
The only thing that *might* help you is that we do send an audit log event each time a video is viewed to the O365 Audit log. They do have APIs, so I believe you could use the O365 Audit log APIs to pull out the events corresponding to when a person viewed a video.
We are in the process of getting started in earnest on both analytics for videos in Stream and Public REST APIs. We can make sure that when we do both of those projects that the new video level stats we build is exposed via the new public REST APIs we will be building.
- Well...I guess because of the recent announcement to move to SharePoint the api for statistics/reporting becomes somehow obsolete.
For managing things I'm not sure how ms stream will evolve
Thank you Marc Mroz.
The Audit logs are pretty useful if i want to measure the activity within my MS Stream world. However my major requirement was to find ways to analyze what is the consumption from a storage point of view -- reading the size of each individual uploaded videos
So is there really no way to read "somehow" the size information of each video which has been uploaded ? :)
You said, "...We are in the process of getting started in earnest on both analytics for videos in Stream and Public REST APIs".
So i guess this will include the storage information..right ?
thanks again

Storage (MB consumed) information wasn't on the short list. Can you add an idea for this in the ideas forum so others can vote on it and their comments? https://aka.ms/StreamIdeas
Ashish Chawla - FYI on request for deeper / granular ways to see how much video storage is being used for Stream.
Channel wise reporting (with size information), is marked as a "Required" feature for us too.
