Microsoft, do you have any updates on whether this going to be repaired? A few years have gone by in this thread without any response. Has this product been abandoned? If so, customers still have mountains of data stored here and we will need to plan in order to migrate our data elsewhere. I look forward to your prompt reply.

crwinchester  - This request is for our Stream (Classic) solution which is not getting any new updates. Stream (Classic) will be retired over the next year. We'll start the 1 year countdown to shut down and 6 month countdown to blocking new uploads starting in early Q1 CY2023. See the retirement timeline and migration tool here: https://aka.ms/StreamMigration

 

The new solution is to upload your videos into SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and Yammer directly. We are calling this "Stream (on SharePoint)" because it integrated from the storage on up into M365 where all files are stored. We strongly encourage you to start doing that now instead of using Stream (Classic). 

 

For this specific request, once your videos are in M365 instead of in Stream (Classic) this problem goes away. You could either...

  1. Have your videos in a folder in your Teams team for the class and at the end of the year just use the bulk copy or move operation in Teams/SharePoint library to move the videos into a new class
  2. OR You could have a separate SharePoint communication site for the videos independent of any Teams team classes, where you link the videos into classes year over year. You could build a few landing pages in SP in this seperate site and link them into each class via the SharePoint teams channel app.
    1. See this guide for how to build "video channel" type experiences with SP pages: Featuring a set of videos on a page - Microsoft Stream | Microsoft Learn
    2. See this on how to add a SP page to a Teams channel tab: Add a SharePoint page, list, or document library as a tab in Teams - Microsoft Support
