MicrosoftLearn about the new Microsoft Stream - enhancing video across M365 built on top of SharePoint
Marc Mroz I registered for the Q&A sessions.
One immediate piece of feedback.
If you can include the no download options that would be so helpful.
Just a recent example, we had to provide access to training video through a SharePoint site as our usual training platform could not handle the size of the videos.
As all the people accessing the site would be guest users we had to download the files to the SharePoint site and play through pages. Not ideal but no other options open to us. No matter what I tried on the SharePoint side I could not get the video downloads blocked. Either from the browser save as when using the File viewer part or through any options using the embed web part. The download button was still there. Companies need to keep their IP and having a way to consume video is one things people easily downloading them and taking them elsewhere is another.
Thanks

Philip Worrell - Yeah we know that block download of videos is going to be a big need and we've started thinking about it. SharePoint already supports the concept of blocking download of other file types (not videos) on the share link. We are thinking about it in this order (roughly)...
1. Enable block download for teams meeting recordings (when saved to ODB/SPO) share link shared in the chat
2. Enable any team meeting recording video file in ODB/SPO to have ability to share a link and have block download set
3. Enable block download at other levels (tenant, site, folder, IP labels??, etc).
We'd really love to hear your feedback on #3 in particular and what you think you'd need.
