Hi Supriya_2019
Straight answer is No. there is no way to embed user creds as parameters to the embed URL and bypass the authentication mechanism. I am afraid this is not the right way to achieve your requirment.
Here are two options to achieve your requirement.
1. Wait still Microsoft Stream release REST APIs and then use them to query and retrieve the videos into your custom .Net app. REST APIs for Stream are in the pipeline. I do not have a timeline on this yet.
2. Use Office 365 Video app to host your video until the Stream APIs are available. Office 365 Video App support API calls.
Hope this answer gives you something to work with.
All the best.
