Embedding on SharePoint
@audrieg Thank you very much for your feedback. This is a known scenario that we are actively working on to make better for users to auto-log in if they are a known user. The embed sign in flow will however still be required that the user have a Microsoft Stream account. What that means is, once we update the auto-login for embeddable players, the user will either see the video if they have a Microsoft Stream account (and have access to view), or be asked (as you see below) to sign up if they don't.
Please let us know if this will satisfy your requirements.
@audrieg Here are some answers
1. Are you referring to Office Videos? If so, this blog explains it well.
2. Stream permissions are based of of Azure AD
3. Currently Stream works based on authenticated access to keep your videos secure, thus anyone watching a video currently requires a Stream account, allowing permissions based playback. In the future we are looking at the possibility to adding limited external public videos for embed code usage only, but portal access would still require a license.
@audrieg We've made some great enhancements to our embedded video page including better auto-login capabilities with other O365 products and integrations with other products such as Sway. Take a look and let us know what you think!
As a note, the user will still have to have a Microsoft Stream license to automatically login.

Hi Tiger Boshomane wondering if the issue of embedding Stream in SP has been sorted out yet?
- Marc Mroz

Victoria DApiceLoh - I believe that Tiger Boshomane did figure out and get playback happening for embeds at his organization. I believe in his case it was IE/Trusted Sites needing to be configured.
Do you have more specifics on what your issue is?
I used chrome to build the site and Stream works fine on chrome, but the iOS SharePoint App requires sign-in to access the embedded stream videos, however no sign-in screen is activated when I click on that option within the SharePoint app. It needs to all be handled by active directory and permissions within stream / Office 365
Doesn't look like it. We are completely stumped buy the in abbility to embed stream videos or a stream channel in Sharepoint or Teams.
In both cases the same symptoms:
- (already) signed in users prompted to sign in/register for streams to view video/channel
- After sign in (usually involving a pop-up which returns to the location with the embedded content), no change.
- User still sees sign in prompt
- Rinse and repeat
Looks like we'll be clunking along with O365 Video... :-(
Video Hub Error
The sad part is that Videos stored in O365 Video no longer play so we cant even embed from here anymore :(

Tiger Boshomane - I will send you a private message and we can talk more about what issues you are seeing in O365 Video and/or Stream.

Hey Chris YoungTiger Boshomane Celia Marlowe Deleted Audrie Gordon Ryan Messer
Thanks for all your patience and feedback. I'm in the process of reaching out to each of you to get a better understanding of your scenarios and the problematic experiences. Many of you are potentially experiencing the second sign in prompt (in the embedded stream video) because your IT admin requires a higher level of authentication to access Microsoft Graph (which Stream makes calls to). Please keep an eye out for my direct message!
- I have the same issue. For some users, only in IE 11, they are prompted for sign in but they are unable to do so. But, using Chrome, it works for these same users.
For others, it works. No matter which browser they use.
We were planing a rollout of this O365 welcome site tomorrow.
This doesn't look good.
