Chrome: Stream embed only works incognito
Caite Stevens Did you give the embed web part a chance? Go in Stream to share a video and choose the embed tab. Copy the iframe code into the SharePoint embed web part. Just an other test.
Unfortunately that did not work for me - I cleared the cache, closed out all Chrome instances, reopened, and access is still denied. The end-user sees a message in Chrome that says, "The channel could not be found", but if they visit in IE, the videos pop right up.
It stinks, because we generally avoid using IE because it's slow and crash-prone. Chrome is so much more stable.
Caite StevensLet´s start from the beginning. I use Chrome in Version 83.0.4103.97 and every scenario with the SharePoint Stream web part works on my side.
- Can the user play the video directly in Stream?
- What source do you use in the Stream web part?
Hi - I am on the same version of Chrome.
User can play the video directly in Stream.
In the web part, I have tried linking directly to the video and directly to the channel. Neither works.

This worked for me. It made me sign in a second time, but the videos did show up.
I am glad to have this option - hopefully Microsoft will address this little inconvenience.
thank you!
