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.
Rmellor93 With the new Stream on SharePoint yes. Since it's just now leveraging OneDrive (personal videos) or SharePoint (group videos) to store the files. So you'd shared externally just as you would any other files with those services. But if still using the older Stream "Classic" then no and it won't ever since its basically end of life now.
Looks like there is an issue

- Yeah you can't do it like that actually. You need to actually move any existing videos out of Stream Classic (so download them if you no longer have the originals) and then upload them either in OneDrive or SharePoint. I'd forget about even using the new Stream UI to upload videos at the moment as it adds no benefit and only confuses where the videos get actually stored. Then share the videos from OneDrive/SharePoint. Basically all the new Stream is now is just some added video features/enhancements to videos stored in OneDrive/SharePoint. But in short you need to migrate anything existing on the old Stream and just start using OneDrive/SharePoint going forwards. They have a migration tool available to assist with this as well if you have a lot to move over.
