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...

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.

mbowgren, you are missing the point. As part of the O365 suite, Stream should be able to share externally with specific people - just like all the other O365 services. My company would like to share videos with our non-employee distributor partners.
A generic guest link would give the experience of YouTube, but those are generally frowned-upon in the enterprise, and are typically disabled.
Jeff_Lamb - Got it, so you're just looking for a private sharing link and not permissioned access for external users? That's not the impression I got from others, but that makes more sense from a feasability perspective.
mbowgren That is all we are looking for, too. We just need to be able to embed or link in university courses, not to share specifically with a specific, individual external account.
