Stream "sign in" or "sign up" page blocking video views
MicrosoftShort answer:
If you add the query string parameter NoSignUpCheck=1 to the end of any Stream URL (including videos) it should skip the "marketing / interceptor" page you have a screen shot of above and go directly to the login.microsoftonline.com login page. You then enter your email address and it will redirect to your ADFS login page. (At least this worked when I just tried it out now).
Example:
https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/c3f9d897-5ac0-44dd-b184-363ed3062310?list=trending&NoSignUpCheck=1
For embed codes, if you add the query string parameter domain_hint=<ADFS domain> to end of a src URL on an embed code, we'll skip going to login.microsoftonline.com and go to the ADFS login page for the domain specified directly.
Example:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://web.microsoftstream.com/embed/video/c3f9d897-5ac0-44dd-b184-363ed3062310?autoplay=false&showinfo=true&domain_hint=contoso.com" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen ></iframe>
Regardless of above we are also working to improve the design of that marketing / interceptor page to make it more clear for people that already have a login. (See long answer below)
I think ideally what you are looking for is a feature on our backlog for the future to look at implementing something with ADFS login acceleration, where we can skip the marketing page and login.microsoftonline.com page, and go directly to your ADFS organization specific login page. This is on the backlog but we haven't determined when we'll be able to get to that project.
Long answer:
Stream is both a service you get as part of O365 and also a service you can buy standalone. For standalone we do offer free trial sign ups of the service.
When a user isn't logged in already we send them our sign in / sign up "marketing (aka interceptor - great name you gave it) page. This offers the user to either sign in with their existing account or do a free trial if they aren't licensed yet (ad-hoc / viral sign up).
I agree with you, the page we have today isn't great for users that already do have a login. To help alleviate some of this problem we are in the process of redesigning this "marketing / interceptor" page. The new design will be something like this. When this is done do you think this will help at all?
Or do you still feel this would be an issue for your users?
Hey Marc,
Glad I found this tip, but in your example for the link, it's supposed to be a ?, not &. For example, ?NoSignUpCheck=1. This is the only way I could get it to work.
I'm still hoping to see this marketing page go away altogether for organizations.
When I use the NoSignInCheck=1, it seems to work ok with Chrome, IE, and Edge, but I still get this in the Yammer app. Any thoughts on that?

I have a similar problem getting a Stream video to play that's added to a SharePoint page using the Stream webpart. Works fine on desktop but when you access the page in the iOS SharePoint app, you get the login prompt, even though you're logged into the SP app. You click on then 'sign in' prompt and nothing happens. Even with the ?NoSignUpCheck=1 extension. Any ideas?
Is it possible to pre-login all users to Stream, for example through PowerShell?
