Microsoft Stream licensing in O365
'Microsoft Stream' shows up in your tenant because someone from your organization must have signed up for the preview version prior to GA or signed-up for the trial after GA.
At GA, we essentially backfilled Office 365 Enterprise E3 with Stream E3 licenses and that's why you see 'Microsoft Stream for O365 E3 SKU'. So now when you assign E3 license to a user, that user is automatically assigned a Stream license.
Note: We will rename 'Microsoft Stream for O365 E3 SKU' to "Stream for O365" soon, but it should not impact anything.
You can safely remove 'Microsoft Stream' as that was the preview SKU but users will still have access to Stream by virtue of Stream being a part of Office E3. You can disable that as well if you want to completely block access for end user.
You can add additional storage in the Microsoft Stream for O365 E3 SKU, once we enable the add-on.
Let us know if you have more questions which we can help answer.
