Chrome: Stream embed only works incognito
We've started embedding Stream videos into our SharePoint online modern sites - it produces a really slick end product. Only problem is that most of our users use Chrome, and these videos only pl...
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.
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!
So back to this - I feel like Stream is not ready for prime time. Today I'm back with problems in displaying videos in SharePoint online sites using Chrome, and it's the same issue whether I add a "Stream video" or an "Embed link".
It will show thumbnails of every video I have no problem, but the second I try to narrow it down to a specific channel or video, I get this "Expansion not supported" error message. The videos generally work in Internet Explorer, but we hate IE because it's slow and crashes a lot. Why Microsoft is still tying outdated IE to its products and security settings, I have no idea.
I'm at the point where I feel like we have to abandon Stream completely because it's so unreliable - and go back to uploading videos to the SharePoint site, and referencing from there.
Caite StevensNot nice! Marc Mroz or someone from the Stream Team: Can you help here?
