External Sharing with Stream or Video
I teach kindergarten students and need the ability to give them easy access to videos I've prepared. I usually do this by creating a QR code for them to scan, but for this to work I need the ability...
We track all the ideas from all of you here on the MS Tech Community in the "Ideas" section.
Typically external videos feature request come in 2 flavors.
1. Pure public / anonymous video - where anyone with a link / embed code can watch the video without logging in.

2. Guest users - Where you type in the email of a person you want to share with and they have to login in some way with Org ID or MSA to see a video.

It's just weird to me how such a big company could be so out of touch with it's user base.
I can't be the only one frustrated by this, it's not just steam, it's all their products, same with sharepoint, why would I not be able to create a customer service hub for example, with some help resources like videos and pdf's about how to use my product.
I can't, because I'd have to share it with people outside my company and I can't since they'd have to login and have a license from MS to use it.
So useless.

You could make public facing SharePoint sites, but it was discontinued as a feature in 2015 because it wasn't used by many. SharePoint for websites was not great, so IMHO you're not missing out on much.
