Migrating Videos Created by Now Deleted Users
Hello - The Stream Migration Tool seems fine for Migration content of users and Groups that still exist. However, the Tool doesn't find "Containers" of videos for Users that are no longer in the ...
JPALM : Orphaned videos or videos that don't have owner will satisfy the following criterion and you can identify these from the Stream video report (mentioned here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/streamnew/migration-details#stream-classic-video-report ).
1. The 'State' column should be either 'Processing' or 'Completed'
2. They should be published or 'Published' date should be not null
3. 'Container id' value for such videos will be null
While the tool will bring the capability to migrate such videos. We would advise you to look at such videos and migrate only if they are being watch. Our aggregate level data tell us that video that are being watched usually end up with a group or user owner, even if the uploader leaves the organization.
If you still have orphaned videos that are being viewed, a hack is to assign owners to these videos manually in Stream (Classic), but this could work when you have a small number of videos.
