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.

I am still seeing this behavior with the latest SharePoint mobile app and a new Communication site with a Stream video in a news article. User is me, owner of Stream channel and Comm site so permissions is right. Is this still on the radar to be fixed?

The issue you are seeing with login issues inside the SP mobile app is a different set of issues than the rest of this thread above.
We've been trying to tackle solving the problem of being able to get our iFrame embed video from Stream to seamlessly be logged in on the SP Mobile app in all cases. There isn't a direct solution we've found yet. We've been collaborating across the teams from AAD, ADAL, SP, and Stream. Saili Raje is the PM from our side in Stream that's been trying to find a path through the complexity of login/auth flows.
Please tag me for knowing when this issues in the Mobile App is fixed - we're getting ready to launch a new communication site organization wide and we're at our wits end with this.
Sorry about that, it looked like what I was just experiencing. Thanks for the reply!
