Please keep Office Mix if you cannot improve Stream
MicrosoftThank you so much for your feedback and putting together that list of the things that you liked about Office Mix and what we need to improve in Stream. We will use your feedback as we plan what to do next.
We are looking at what features, ideas, and concepts we can start pulling into Stream. At this point it time as you mentioned Stream is not a replacement for Office Mix. Stream is about videos, however Mix was about interactive content, videos, powerpoint, and had deeper features that were tailored to the education space.
We do believe that Stream and PowerPoint are the right place for the ideas/concepts Mix proved out in it's preview product, however it is going to take time for us to figure out exactly how/what that means in Stream.
Our agency thrived on office mix features. We even bought Microsoft USB plug in play camera's for everyone to create awesome power point presentations and they delivered. If you implement these features on stream and stream is only available on a website, I dear hope you guys make it snappy. If we're allowed to keep the office mix plug-in, I plan to not remove it at all from office 2013/2016 .
I know your pain! I could overlook the fact that they took away most of the best features and made us individually update every link we've ever made, but I can't even share videos outside my organization or without a login anymore. Before I had all my mixes embedded into lovely workbooks and it all worked seamlessly. Now the student has to log in every time they want to view one. I can't send anything to externals. can't check analytics. I don't see the point in stream which has countless identical and better alternatives on the internet. Office mix was unique. RIP
