Search in Microsoft Stream does not crawl transcript any more
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.
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,
Pete
Microsoftpeterclarkesmith 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.
- I have figured out we have the same issue right now whereas 6 months ago. I am based in France. Any news on this?
- Still nothing... Very sad. 2 years. Maybe they are working on Sharepoint Video to get it back?
- Marc MrozAll our efforts are in building our videos on SharePoint, Teams, Yammer, and OneDrive. If you have a video there with a transcript it’s searchable across M365. See all that’s possible there already today and what’s coming:

I believe all the details on what works or doesn’t work with Stream (Classic) transcripts and search is documented here:

Sorry that we had to disable so much and it’s taking a while to rebuild things into Stream (on SharePoint), thank you for your patience. We are working to hopefully get the migration tool generally available later this year.
