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 Stream are in my Office 365 tenant).
Am I misreading this, or is there a way to avoid this experience for my users please?
Thank you in advance for your help.
@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.

I am still seeing this behavior with the latest SharePoint mobile app and a new Communication site with a Stream video in a news article. User is me, owner of Stream channel and Comm site so permissions is right. Is this still on the radar to be fixed?

The issue you are seeing with login issues inside the SP mobile app is a different set of issues than the rest of this thread above.
We've been trying to tackle solving the problem of being able to get our iFrame embed video from Stream to seamlessly be logged in on the SP Mobile app in all cases. There isn't a direct solution we've found yet. We've been collaborating across the teams from AAD, ADAL, SP, and Stream. Saili Raje is the PM from our side in Stream that's been trying to find a path through the complexity of login/auth flows.
- Am i right in saying this issue hasn't been sorted out?
Hi Tiger Boshomane wondering if the issue of embedding Stream in SP has been sorted out yet?
Has there been movement on this issue?
I'm in an O365 Tenant with an E3 license and experiencing the same issue as the OP.
I'm attempting to embed a video that is uploaded in Stream to a SharePoint page.
Once I am logged into O365 and launch Stream from the Application Launcher I am logged into Steam seemlessly and can see my profile as if I was on SharePoint or Delve...etc.Once I copy the embed code and paste it into SharePoint I get this message:
Thank you,
