MicrosoftHow to add video to channel
Chris - I just wanted to confirm as I believe I have experienced this as well. Even though I can share an MS Teams recording of a video to a channel in MS Streams, I actually have to download and re-upload the video to be able to have it appear on the MS Stream Channel's list of videos, correct?
If I want to share the video on multiple channels, can I upload it to "My Videos" and then effectively share it from there to the two channels? or will I need to upload it to each channel?
Thanks,
Bob
- You can’t tag videos so if you have to have them in each channel you have to upload twice.
ChrisWebbTechIt's not the best way you know.
I also need bulk move videos to a channel. I've more then 80 videos. What do you suggest?
Hi all!
Just to clarify: You always upload a video to Microsoft Stream, not to a channel! Channels are not like directories! When you upload a video via the global upload in the menu bar, the uploader is set as the owner of the video, no other permissions are set and this video only appears in his "My Content / Videos" section. If you upload a video within a channel using the channel upload, the channel is entered in the permissions area of the video additionaly. You can remove that or add more channels or peoples or groups. There is only one video in Microsoft Stream and connections to groups, channels or people are made.
kadirbasegmezThere is currently no functionality in the web client for bulk operations and without an API this can not be programmed. You have to do the operation manually, by editing the permissions of each video.
And you can upvote this Microsoft Stream Idea, so we get bulk operations made by Microsoft ;-): https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-ideas/bulk-actions-add-multiple-videos-to-channels-or-groups-delete/idi-p/90668
