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.
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?

All 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.
