Embedding on SharePoint

I embedded a video on the home page of one of my SharePoint sites, but stream is asking for log-in to play it back. That doesn't make sense to me because it's the same login (both SharePoint and Stre...

    @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.

Thank you for explaining this; I am a consultant helping businesses to leverage O365 services so this is something I need to mitigate as to customer expectations. They assume that anything they click on from the App Launcher is part of their Office 365 account (not a separate account), much like clicking on Delve, or Word. So I'll have to try and avoid a negative sentiment on this point. (Everyone wants to embed everything in SharePoint....) Anyway,

 

a few last questions:

1. I assume this is replacing the Video Channel app that was there before (which did not require a second authentication). Will the video's that people had in those channels already, automatically show up as channels in Stream?

2. Will we have a permissions model based on Azure AD?

3. Will we have to assign "Stream" licenses to all consumers of the videos? Or is this a separate offering all together?

 

Thank you for your help,

Audrie
