Stream API documentation
Hi @MrNigel, API is definitely on our roadmap. The goal for our preview is that we nail all the feedback we get and incorporate that into the product before we share APIs. We'd love to hear your feedback both on the product and ideas on how you would like to use APIs so that we can consider that feedback.
Thank you for trying Microsoft Stream. How do you like it so far?
what would be great is to facilitate https://h5p.org/ we use this with the integrated Moodle module for interactive video content. Our issue is, as a Microsoft 365 subscriber, we host our content on stream as part of our college solution this then prevents us using this content to facilitate a more engaging and deeper learning experience through the H5P interactive video software.
- I hope MS makes this happen!
Public api's for Stream released yet? 3 years on from promising to have them seems a bit extreme.
- Hi Vishal,
Any updates on stream apis?
Or can you please tell me when will it be available?Hi SamDhangar did you get any api support ?
We'd love one of two things:
- An API that takes the url to your video page and return direct links to all the video files with information about their resolutions(mp4 files)
- A video player with JavaScript APIs allowing us to completely control the video experience like the one YouTube has for play, pause, seek, get current video time etc.
We will use it to allow your users to use their videos with https://h5p.org/interactive-video and other similar H5P video base content types.
Hopefully there will be an iframe API to be able to control the video with mute, start, stop, pause, etc. Iframe is a main way to share and imbed these video, so there should be an iframe API to make Stream useful and customizable to different organization's needs.
- We would like to connect our video(s) already uploaded into a SharePoint Online video library application without having to reupload them into Stream. Plus having the videos accessible via SharePoint Online in a media library application allows admins to use SharePoint Workflows for the file(s). If videos are uploaded to Stream, where are they stored? Is the only way to access them via Stream interface? Is the only way to access Stream videos in SharePoint via modern page Steam webpart? Can you connect Stream to videos already uploaded into SharePoint without reuploading them into Stream and duplicating the file?
I would like to use API for custom usage reporting.
