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.
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.

agreed Raymond Boone our culture is hardening around youtube is there a recommended best practice for now MSFT Marc ? Its becoming more and more difficult to change what is being adopted more and more by my users...
I Agree with everyone above that this is becoming an even bigger issue everyday as more and more folks are using Teams for meetings/recording and then cant share that content (easily or natively) with those outside their org.
I do Teams Direct Routing Partner Hosted Architecture Presentations DAILY to large master agent groups, re-sellers, and direct customers/prospects. As these are large groups and often everyone cannot make the meeting they almost always ask me to record so the missing invitees can watch later. They see the recording in the meeting thread but cant access it so often ask me why & can I email it to them (or worse yet can I upload to Dropbox). This should be a native Teams experience ASAP.
For workarounds, obviously you cant download then email as they file is usually too large. Using non MSFT dropbox when you are evangelizing Microsoft reflects poorly on Teams, Microsoft, and Me. YouTube is not an option for private or NDA'd meetings. I use OneDrive as my workaround but am really looking forward to External users having access to this content in Stream.
