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.
Idea in the forums for Public / anonymous video: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Stream-Ideas/Public-videos/idc-p/93045#M652
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.

Koraunui Administrator - yes, you are correct that we don't have ability to make videos accessible without AAD credentials. We are working on this but unable to share a specific timeline as we are still in early design stages. It's a top priority on our side though and we will keep you updated here.
Also, for your scenario - I assume these videos are public anonymous (anyone can watch) access right?
Vishal,
Does your AAD ID include external registered users for accessing these video's. I understand the frustration of Office Mix going but wanted to confirm that If Videos are uploaded to Stream that external sharing is available for registered accounts in AAD..
Thanks

Stream does not yet support external users in any way. Even if you have external users registered in your AAD outside of Stream, they will not be able to access videos.
External anonymous and guest access is on our list to try and work on in 2018.
You can create a Security Principal in O365 buy just adding an unlicensed user to your Azure AD. I was up against the same issue and this worked for me, your AD/Security team may not like it but in a pinch it did work as of 5/16/2018 00:12 CST!
