Disable Downloading in Stream

Is it possible to prevent downloading of the original video or make it available only to certain people (like owners)?

So if I understand this thread correctly, anyone within an organization who can view a video published with Stream is also able to download that video. There is no way to disable that feature and provide "view only" access to large audiences?

Now the video is stored in a SharePoint site instead by a software update. So you can disable/view only to anyone who you want. (The software update rollout timing would be different at your site though.)

      Pleasure. You can go to SharePoint then you could add/remove the view rights.

        Based on our testing a video Saved to SharePoint in the new Stream has a download link for anyone with view permissions. Bummer.
