Dec 14, 2017Today in Stream you can permission an individual video by any combination of users, AD security groups, and O365 "modern" groups. To add an AD Security group on the video upload/edit screen, in the "Permissions" section, switch the search drop down to "People," then you can add a user or an AD security group.
For the O365 Video migration to Stream, we will create a special new type of group called a "Custom Stream group" that is NOT tied to an O365 Group. This allows us to migrate in the O365 Video channels one for one into Stream and move over owner, editor, viewer permissions including AD security group. Your O365 Video channels will become "Custom groups" in Stream.
We are also exploring the ability to allow you to create new "Custom Stream groups" which aren't tied to O365 Groups from Stream itself outside of the migration. When we do this, then there will be a way at a group level to assign AD security groups as owners, editors, viewers of the group. We don't have a timeline yet for when we'll do this work, but hoping to get it in the coming quarters.
