External Sharing with Stream or Video

I teach kindergarten students and need the ability to give them easy access to videos I've prepared. I usually do this by creating a QR code for them to scan, but for this to work I need the ability...

We track all the ideas from all of you here on the MS Tech Community in the "Ideas" section.

Typically external videos feature request come in 2 flavors.

1. Pure public / anonymous video - where anyone with a link / embed code can watch the video without logging in.

Idea in the forums for Public / anonymous video: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Stream-Ideas/Public-videos/idc-p/93045#M652

2. Guest users - Where you type in the email of a person you want to share with and they have to login in some way with Org ID or MSA to see a video.

Jake BurgyI don't think I will hold my breath. But what cracks me up and is when it does finally roll out in 2021 or 2022 we are all supposed to be so excited, elated like bread was just sliced. Not that MS is finally catching up after a decade.

bbyrd - It is useless snarky commentary like this that diminishes the usefulness of the MS Tech Community.

N8KnottinghamAnd I'm here because my ceo is trying to share his recording with a client. "Glad" I found this thread and can report back that downloading the video is the only solution currently.

Kasper Rothaus - I appreciate this comment. It is my frustration having to answer a multitude of questions from clients (internal/external) that raise my frustration. This needs to be developed into a tool.

After following this thread for I guess two years or something - I think i’ll check out - I t has taken them so long that I no longer work with MS. I know it might diminish the technical quality of the discussion here, but the comments here express a deep frustration from typically administrators having to answer to a lot of users with demands. And it is bloody hard to explain a modern user that his or her video can only be shared on the platform available within the organisation. I hope for the people here who are forced to work with Stream that it comes - I wont recommend it to my worst enemy .. all the best
