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 https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/-this-video-isn-t-available-when-external-user-views-shared-stream-video-884c54e3-0d1b-4233-a07a-9c42502162ab 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.
One way I've found is to set up a Team with guest users. You can then add a Stream Channel to that Team and then you're able to share.
Quentin_Fisher Just as an FYI, even if you have access to the Teams channel as a guest, the stream channel tab won't load. It'll just show a "Failed To Load Channel, Please Try Again" message.
- I just want to add that I also am dying for this feature to be added. At the moment I am considering using a different product such as Loom, just so I can share with clients as well as my team, in an easy, non convoluted way. Even if I have to pay.
redbrickaccounting pretty sure this has been addressed by these recordings now going into OneDrive and if you're org allows you to share outside of the org from OneDrive you should be good to go.
cfreeman2490 not really. You can share recording files, but that is really only a poor solution (e.g. you cannot control if files are downloaded or not).
