Search in Microsoft Stream does not crawl transcript any more

Some weeks ago with the global search box in Stream it was possible to get results from within the transcripts of videos. This is currently not possible any more. Why?

Microsoft has just announced (MC207439) that the search feature will temporarily exclude the content of the videos in certain data centres.
The video search experience in Stream will temporarily exclude results from transcripts for these data centers: Europe North, Europe West, Singapore, South East Asia, U.S. East. Searches will continue to show results based on words in the video title and description. Additionally, transcript search will not work for individual videos on the player page in South East Asia and U.S. East.
It's a temporary feature adjustment.

Hi Robb,
I've tried it today, and it does work for our tenant... So it's likely that APAC is fixed now.
Could you try again?
(Keep in mind, I'm not working for Microsoft 🙂 )

  1dimitri / Nashville_Robb - Just wanted to check in to see if you gentlemen had heard anything about the US rest of the global tenants coming back online with this features. I'm at a global firm but our tenant account looks like US/UK because I still don't see the DEEP SEARCH through multiple videos with the text from transcripts. The basic single video transcript search with snippets works fine but this larger snippet search across videos would be unbelievable valuable to get back online!
  
  Anyone from @MSFT that can comment on the roadmap here for this? Is this tenant by tenant or a holistic feature that will crank on soon?
  
  Cheers,

    peterclarkesmith Nothing official. Through the grapevine I heard they turned it off due to Covid and I believe capacity issues.
    
    To me this is the valuable function of video archiving and Teams. Wish we could find the person who could turn it back on.
