Disable Downloading in Stream

Is it possible to prevent downloading of the original video or make it available only to certain people (like owners)?

Pleasure. You can go to SharePoint then you could add/remove the view rights.

    Based on our testing a video Saved to SharePoint in the new Stream has a download link for anyone with view permissions. Bummer.

      Craig Chambers and HarryKnott Removing the ability to download a video can be set by configuring a custom permission setting for Restricted Read. Then that download option is removed.

        karen_dredske how do you do that exactly since I don‘t really understand the custom permission options.

      Indeed - we elected to use Vimeo instead for video streaming for this reason as we only want to make content available to registered customers. IT would have been nicer to switch to Stream but without this functionality it just makes it too easy for people to get access to our content who shouldn't 😞
