Stream trial expiring?!
My admin received this via the Admin center today. Our company has a mix of E3 and E5 licenses mostly E3. Could this just be a general statement letting us know that we are losing the added feature...
Sort of. This means that users who are E3 users but are currently seeing E5 features in Stream (People timeline from face detection, searchable transcript next to a video, deep search across Stream based on what's said in the video), will no longer be able to see/use those features. They are seeing the E5 features because they have the "Stream Trial" license added to them in addition to their E3 license. We are basically putting a time limit on the "Stream trial" license to only give you E5 capabilities for a specific time period.
Background:
When Stream was released in preview we only had a "Free trial" license for Stream, it wasn't automatically included in O365 E3/E5/A3/A5, etc. That "free trial" license gave users access to all the fancy speech to text and face detection features. Because of how we launched Stream preview, many O365 users ended up having both their normal E/A license and this free Stream one. We are just getting around now to putting a time limit on that free Stream trial.
