Embedding Stream in OneNote

Starting a thread to track any outstanding issues while embedding Stream in OneNote.

Would really appreciate this info:

  • which version of OneNote you are in - Windows app, desktop app, OneNote web app, iOS, etc.
  • what is the exact issue you are seeing

 

Thanks for all your help!

    I am running Onenote on the Mac.  Ver 16.16.3 Mac os 10.13.6

     

    Embed code does not work, only direct URL.  Once the player is resolved I am asked to sign in, I click on the link which takes me to Stream, where I am already logged in, I then switch back to OneNote but the video does not play.

      thank you for the feedback! This is a known behavior in the OneNote team and we are hoping to have a better experience for Mac soon.

      This describes the same behaviour I have when trying to embed Stream videos in a Sharepoint page and display it in a Teams tab....you get stuck in an endless loop with it asking you to login ....finding you already are and it not playing. I contacted MS support about it and they said it was a known problem. I’ll look for the job and annotate to this reply.

    I pasted a Stream link to a video in the OneNote Windows 10 app. The video plays and there are no problems with that. The issue I have is that it starts playing every time I open the page. This is not useful as you don't want several videos to start playing at once when you're in a classroom setting and students are browsing the content.

    Another thing I noticed is that the videolink changes into a link called Microsoft Stream. With YouTube videos the link changes to the title of the video. I hope that can be changed for Stream links as well.

    Hope that helps and keep up the good work!
