Question on Speech to Text feature
I see the faces option (I turned it on) and I see the faces options under the video now. However, the "search within trascript" option doesn't appear to be working. What else needs to happen to have that option enabled?

This is what's required...
1. You set the "Video Language" to either English or Spanish on the video. We only support those languages right now.
2. You have to wait a while (1-2x the lenght of the video or so).
3. You need to be a user with E5/A5/O365 Stream add-on/Stream P2/Trial license. If not we won't show the faces or the transcript.
I'm guessing you have all of the above done already. If that's the case it's possible we weren't able to generate the transcript for the video.
Based off the investigation we did yesterday for the previous report of this, it looks like we can only auto-generate a caption for MP4 and WMV files. If it's something else we likely can't generate it at this point in time. I'm working with our dev team to understand a bit more so we can document specficially what's supported and what's not supported at this time. (Which codecs ,etc).
We are working to move to a new version of the transcript service / indexer that we use which will add more language support and support for more file types. That project is estimated to complete by end of this year.
Sorry for the incovience. We'll work on getting our documentation updated with more specifics on what file types work with transcript and which dont.
