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.
@Jeff_Wilson Thanks for your message and for trying Stream. We are continuously trying to make SSO for embed better for customers to have a better playback experience and integration with other products. I think the scenario you have identified more closely aligns with this post (Let me know if you agree).
The current post was an issue when we first opened up the Preview in Microsoft Stream where we did not have SSO between AAD resources, so we would always prompt for sign in unless you were signed into Stream directly. We made some enhancements, and now we complete SSO based on any signed in AAD resource like O365 (as seen in the image), PowerBI, Sway, etc.
From what I can describe as what you are seeing, once you sign into one AAD resource the first time, you will see SSO complete successfully on all embeds for the session. Seems like there is one more step required here to enable full SSO based on your scenario. If you are willing to, please direct message me your email and I will be happy to set up some time with you and discuss your scenario more in detail to see what is going on and how we can better handle your particular scenario based on your environment.
