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?

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

You are correct in many cases Stream does not yet work on the SharePoint mobile app for iOS or Android. We have a project running to try and come to a technical solution to solve this issue. So far it's been very difficult for us to solve. We are working on it though. Sorry.
Victoria DApiceLoh Marc is correct, the embedding playback issues where sorted by adding stream to trusted sites in IE...it seems the responsiveness has been sorted as well, check my screen shot
