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.

I think sharing recorded sessions in Teams is a must, waiting for this feature a lot. Right now what we do, we download the video and add it to onedrive and then share.. But the security and ownership of content is compromised that way.. but as this is the only way now..
Audrius Martinkus Thank you! This worked for me!
N8KnottinghamAnd I'm here because my ceo is trying to share his recording with a client. "Glad" I found this thread and can report back that downloading the video is the only solution currently.
Kasper Rothaus - I appreciate this comment. It is my frustration having to answer a multitude of questions from clients (internal/external) that raise my frustration. This needs to be developed into a tool.
- After following this thread for I guess two years or something - I think i’ll check out - I t has taken them so long that I no longer work with MS. I know it might diminish the technical quality of the discussion here, but the comments here express a deep frustration from typically administrators having to answer to a lot of users with demands. And it is bloody hard to explain a modern user that his or her video can only be shared on the platform available within the organisation. I hope for the people here who are forced to work with Stream that it comes - I wont recommend it to my worst enemy .. all the best
bbyrdi Think you are wrong here. I like that Microsoft is valuing privacy, and i think it's just this one company who still cares about privacy by design. And in order to share company recorder meeting there is a lot of legislation needed to be included in the process to share the recording outside the company. So i like how they are planning to do it and include separate administrator role who could make videos public. Because to fell save inside the company i want to know that video's are safe and secure 🙂
And if you want to share a video to someone - you can have the tools you have - one drive, SharePoint, and other services that allow video sharing 🙂
Jake BurgyI don't think I will hold my breath. But what cracks me up and is when it does finally roll out in 2021 or 2022 we are all supposed to be so excited, elated like bread was just sliced. Not that MS is finally catching up after a decade.
Jake Burgy, I think you are right it must take over 2 years to remove the security on the video so the world can see it. Highly disappointed that the feature isn't here yet.
People at YouTube must be wizards since they've been able to do it since 2005....
Roadmap is now Q4 2020... it apparently takes 2 years to remove security on a video so the world can view it.
Microsoft, please add ability to provide Guest Users of a Team Channel to access recorded video. This will provide a security balance of providing a link that anyone can access, or one the Team can view.
Thank you
