Stream Storage
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1151 for preview, the product is completely free and separate from Office 365 so no usage will impact your SharePoint tenant storage.
Also, it's not built on SharePoint so those constructs won't work with Microsoft Stream. If you are an Office subscriber you can continue to use Office 365 Video and at a future date once we have more details on our integration with Office 365, we can talk more to admin capabilities like management, etc.
Looking at what appears to be the official set of limitations at https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/stream-quotas-and-limitations/, the maximum amount of video data for a tenant is 5PB (= 50GB/video * 100,000videos/tenant).
I think that will be a challenge to fill, even with our content producers showing interest in 4K video :)

THis is exact the conflict between 2 anouncments - 500GB per tenant versus 250TB per user

One more question Marc Mroz! (Until I think of the next one)
Is the storage used calculated on the uploaded video, or do the other bitrate versions that may be created from the original upload also then count towards the allocated storage?
Stream still only calculates the storage quota used by the originally uploaded videos. The various different bitrate/resolution videos we generate for adaptive streaming don't count against the storage quota.

Hi,
might be that I am missing something, but is it correct that we need to buy extra storage if we exceed the 500 GB / tenant + 0.5 GB / user limit - but that there is no way for us to monitor how much storage we are using in Stream at any given time? How should we go about to buy more storage? In our tennant the bulk of our users are assigned E3-licences. In the admin center it seems it is possible to buy some extra storage, but it's a bit unclear which option is correct for those who have E3-licences already.
- Marc MrozWe'll fix that link that just goes back to the same page sorry.
The 500GB / tenant + 0.5 GB / user pooled is the storage quota you get in Stream. This is the amount of storage you get to use up.
The 1 TB / channel in O365 Video (SharePoint Online Site Collection). Is a limit not a quota. Which means if you bought a ton of SharePoint Online storage quota you could grow each channel up to 1 TB. It does not mean that you get unlimited storage of videos in channels for O365 Video.
So with O365 Video your quota was consumed out of your normal SharePoint online Site quota. If you consumed all of that then you'd have to buy more storage quota. In effect with Stream you are getting extra storage for videos for the same price you paid before, because now we are separating video storage in Steam from video storage in SharePoint online for O365 Video channels. On the last link I read:
Microsoft Stream includes a base amount of storage. A Microsoft Stream tenant receives a fixed allocation of 500 GB of storage and an additional 0.5 GB of storage per licensed user* as illustrated in the table below. Additional Microsoft Stream storage is available for purchase separately. See the Microsoft Stream pricing page for more details.and the included link is dead end (link to back).
Current Office 365 Video service offer 1TB per channel with no anounced limits to number of channels
Switching Video 2 Stream will be decrase of service
Or might be I didn't catch some important things- Marc Mroz
Sorry HennSarv I'm not following the question. Where do we have 2 announcments that conflict with one another?
Just to clarify this article shows the physical limits on Stream independant of the storage quota for the tenant: https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/stream-quotas-and-limitations/
This article covers how much pooled storage quota you get for Stream based plan / # of users licensed for Stream in your tenant: https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/stream-license-overview/#storage
