Stream to share a video and make it available to anonymous users
- Feb 13, 2020
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.
Please note that we are not actively monitoring the suggestions at https://stream.uservoice.com/, as that site is managed by an unknown third party, not Microsoft. To submit your feedback on anonymous playback and other features you need in Stream, please use https://aka.ms/streamideas. In particular, to add your support for anonymous public playback of Stream content, please upvote this idea: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-ideas/public-videos/idi-p/80159.

null null Looks like this request made its' way onto the official development plan (product roadmap) for Microsoft Stream: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Stream
Release: Q4 CY2019
Microsoft Stream: Public anonymous external video sharing
Allow individual videos in Microsoft Stream to be marked for external public access allowing the video to be embeded in a public website. Anyone in the world can view these external videos without a login. Stream admins will be able to control if this feature is enabled and who within the organization can make videos publicly available.

year after year, just pushing forward... If Microsoft doesn't want to do it, better plainly say it and don't keep us waiting.

Seriously not sure how you can have something on a roadmap then just bump it a year like it's no big deal.
- AnonymousMar 15, 2019It's still a bit of a wait, but I'm happy it's happening. Also: should have spotted it myself in the roadmap! 😏

Deleted Oh man, but not until Q4. I guess the mp4 download workaround is how we'll work in the meantime.
