How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Patrick_lky Hi, this isn’t possible at the moment, if your asking can you share videos externally, this is on the roadmap, due towards the end of the year (Q4) though:
Microsoft Stream: Public anonymous external video sharing
Allow individual videos in Microsoft Stream to be marked for external public access allowing people to view the videos without a login. Stream admins will be able to control if this feature is enabled and who within the organization can make videos publicly available.
Just to add, it’s not clear if the above feature will allow you to add external email address to provide access to particular guests only, you’d think that would be an option.
This link also provides a bit more context:
This error occurs because Stream can't currently share to external users.
To work around this issue, store the video in another location. For example, add the video to a SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business Library location that enables external sharing, and then share the video to the external users.
As of 9/22/2020, the roadmap feature for this looks to have been marked as "CANCELED" but the details say it's because it is part of the new functionality for release December CY2020(?)
- Why was it marked as "CANCELED"?
- I don't see the ability to enable the feature in the Stream Admin area
- Do we have to wait until December to see if it's available?

Microsoft Stream: Public anonymous external video sharing
(This item is being removed, as it is redundant with Microsoft Stream's new capabilities.) Allow individual videos in Microsoft Stream to be marked for external public access allowing people to view the videos without a login. Stream admins will be able to control if this feature is enabled and who within the organization can make videos publicly available.
Doug Punchak It really is quite ridiculous and very frustrating the strategy Microsoft has taken with regards to missing core functionality from the host of apps that exist in Microsoft 365. Apparently not enough people voted to have this core feature integrated, since that's how they decide to fix their apps these days. I don't know about you, but if my application was missing core functionality, I wouldn't need a vote count to determine if or when it should be fixed and integrated. I would much prefer they spend their limited resources and funding to fix the apps missing core functionality instead of preparing new fluff features and apps that no one asked for. I really don't have any other way to say it, but someone there has their head up their you know what.

indeed, most people just can't be arsed (bothered) to vote, and many don't even know they can... and they simply move on to another solution
I did not know about the voting. Where do I vote? vincentacloud
There may be some light at the end of this tunnel. Looks like Stream is moving to SharePoint which means it may have the same external access capabilities
