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.
It's funny, I came to this forum thinking, "I bet someone else has posted about this." I'm a little disappointed that this doesn't seem to work with ADFS like my other Office 365 products.
Let's review why Stream is compelling for many organizations:
- It's a private, secured SaaS video service authenticated to my Azure AD tenant which means I can leverage existing systems such as ADFS, SSO, and on-prem users/groups
- It's a true CDN which is something even large enterprises can't build on their own
- It gives us the social aspects, video ingestion capabilities and user-friendliness of YouTube
Combine those three 'nuggets' and what do you get? You get many organizations like mine that likely want to leverage Stream's CDN/SSO capabilities to playback video by embedding videos into internal Sharepoint 2013/2016 sites. That's what I'm trying to do but like the OP, I'm getting login friction despite the fact that I've got ADFS 3.0 federating to O365.
In other words, can't you take the federated token my Domain's browsers are sending to stream through my Shareoint site? Do I perhaps need to adjust my ADFS federation to avoid the login prompt on the embed?
