Stream to share a video and make it available to anonymous users
Gustavo Moura de Sousa and everyone else. Thank you for your passion around this missing functionality. We still have external access (anonymous access, guest access, and federated access) as very high priorities, and once again have engineers actively working on these. We have obviously hit numerous starts and stops on our path to delivering anonymous access, not for lack of awareness or lack of desire to get this done, but due to other functionality that unexpectedly became a higher priority for regulatory and business reasons (e.g., GDPR, GOV cloud access, etc.). If you can use workarounds for now, thank for you doing so and your continued patience. If not, we understand, and hope you'll be willing to try Stream again once we have the functionality you need.

At least rework the policy wording in Teams. Streaming can be set to "Everyone" currently, that is misleading. To watch streaming event should not require authentication.
Considering the current climate perhaps Microsoft should rethink and make this a real priority. We would love to be able to share a lot of our internal videos with our students parents to help them with their Education at home with the number of isolations. Bruce Kraft Jr
zackf take a look at this:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=27728jordigriera Agreed. This has been a known issue for years. It's almost comical how buggy the software is on rollout and how slow it is to fix the issues. The running joke is that the triage team at MS is a few hamsters running on a wheel. This is what happens when companies own too much of the market. They stop having to put out good products. The day of reckoning came to the US Car companies and MS's day will come too.
- Thank you Chris, your reply is not very encouraging but clarifies the situation.
