    Martin Betschart  Yes, the 'follow' feature is pretty much useless in Stream (and Sharepoint). It essentially acts as a bookmark instead of creating any sort of notifications or actions when there's an update/addition to a channel (or site). Imagine if you followed or subscribed to a channel on youtube and never got any notifications when something was added. What a terrible user experience. We recently migrated to Stream from another tool and continue to receive complaints about how many features are not available in Stream compared to our previous solution. No metrics (delayed 1.5 years from the original road map timeline)? No notifications? No permissions at the channel level? We have 70,000 employees so we restrict upload access to maintain governance. We need to give specific people access to upload to their respective channels, not access to upload to ALL public channels in Stream. (We don't want someone in Finance to be able to upload videos to our CEO's channel.)

    Would love to see more user centric features like 'notifications' in Stream! #voteUP :)
  • Unfortunately. we don't have notifications in Stream today. If they follow your channel they will see a new tag on the channel on the home page but not get an email.
