Embedding the video inside of Word works if you are signed in - it will automatically pick up your credentials. Unforuately, if the user is not signed into Word, their credentials are not known and they will not be able to watch the video. This is for security purposes you cannot bypass this as you wouldn't want people to who shouldn't have access to watch videos

I now have this exat same issue for an embedded video on our sharepoint homepage. In one tab i'm signed in to stream in the other i have our intranet page. the embedded video still asks me to sign in and to make it worse after i click sign in a dialog pops up and nothing happens.

    Hi Tiger Boshomane can you tell us what browser you are using and what platform? If you could go to Stream, and in the top right corner, please select "About Microsoft Stream" under the help ("?") and send to Saili Raje as a DM to take a look here.

    Having a simplar problem, not with SharePoint, but with some php that has been generated by one of our web devs, the embed login link brings up a similar sounding blank page (I will be looking at the code tomorrow). However, a page I created of simple html with a Streams embed, the login works fine (Chrome, Edge andFirefox) and calls up the O365 login screen no problems. Just chiming in hoping that there might ba a simple solution as we want to use more of our O365 goodies. Thanks! R

      Hi Roman Nowak, your scenario seems to be slightly different.  Would be great if you can provide more specific details.  Ultimately it depends in what context you are running your PHP code in - is this within a context the user has been logged into an AAD based resource before such as Stream, SharePoint, Yammer, etc or is this in the context of some App?  Adding Saili Raje to help understand your scenario better and help out with any quesitons.
