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, I just created a Stream video, so I'm the owner, embedded it as a webpart on a SharePoint Online Communication Site and then tried to view it on the SharePoint iOS app. I can't view the Stream video, it says I need to sign in, but when I click the sign in link, nothing happens. Since the SharePoint app is linked to my business account, shouldn't it already know whether I have permission or access to this content? Is this a one-off issue, or more wide spread? Any time frame on a stable solution? We are hoping to jump to the communication sites soon. Thanks!

Hi Jon Burke we are in the process of working on embed/playback issues in sharepoint. We are working with sharepoint to prevent the blocking of sign in and are working towards a better playback experience. We apologize for the inconvenience.
- This is happening with Android SharePoint app too. Not just a one-off issue. I would like to roll out Comms site plus SharePoint mobile to my 2000 users, but this is one of my holdups. I'm very interested in the answer!

Jon Burke Matt Whitehorn - Embedding videos in SharePoint pages with embed codes or via the SP web part does not work yet in some cases on the SP Mobile apps (iOS or Android). We have folks looking into technical fixes for this. So far this problem has been very hard for us to solve. We think we have some good paths / approaches, but are still doing investigations and trying to find a solution.
I'm adding Saili Raje from our PM team who is tracking and working with engineering across Stream and SharePoint to come to a solution on this. For further questions she should be able to answer them.
