MicrosoftLearn about the new Microsoft Stream - enhancing video across M365 built on top of SharePoint
Hi Marc Mroz, I just watched the Ignite video and am excited about the changes. We've been using Office 365 Video as our video portal for companywide videos and have been planning to migrate to classic Stream (because of the impending Office 365 Video retirement in March 2021).
With these new announcements, should we continue planning this migration to classic Stream knowing that it sounds like there will be another migration needed later from classic Stream to new Stream?

There will be a migration from classic Stream to new Stream coming in CY 2021. I would say that most customers will likely want to continue to migrate from O365 Video to classic Stream. However if you are okay with the feature set of videos in SharePoint or OneDrive for Business as they are right now, then you might want to make an attempt to skip classic Stream.
The first FAQ in this help doc discusses your options if you haven't moved from O365 Video to Stream yet: https://docs.microsoft.com/stream/migrate-from-office-365#frequently-asked-questions
And this FAQ about the new Stream lists out the things you can do for videos in ODB/SPO today and what is still missing that is offered in classic Stream: https://docs.microsoft.com/stream/streamnew/classic-migration#frequently-asked-questions
