Where is content actually saved
Q: I have put some videos in a group, and in a channle and the videos dont seem to actually be saved to the O365 group. Where are they actually saved?
A: Can you explain what you did in Stream? Did you... In Stream go to your Group, make a channel, and then upload a video to the Channel in the Group in Stream?
Videos uploaded to Stream are stored in Stream not in the O365 group's file store. We need to store the videos seperate in Stream so we can enable large scale adaptive streaming of the videos (by leveraging Azure Media Services under the covers). Files uploaded to an O365 Group's files are stored in SharePoint Online directly. SPO does support video playback but it's not indended for large scale. With Stream you can send out a link to a video to everyone in the company and there wouldn't be any issues with scalability or thorttling.
Q: As an admin where can i go to review all videos?
A: We don't have a admin area that lets you see all the videos. If a video is permissoined such that you can see it already, you'll be able to find it via Browse / Search. However if somoene sets permisions on the videos such that you can't see it, you won't find it in Stream directly. HOWEVER, if someone sends you a link to the video or channel you will be able to elevate yourself and edit/see that video as a Stream Admin. See this article about "edit in admin mode": https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/stream-entering-admin-mode/
Q: As an admin where can i manage the space being used?
A: We haven't implemented storage / quota management as an Admin yet. We will be doing this development soon to add the ability for the Stream Admins to see how much space is consumed and by what videos, etc.
Q: What happens to a video when the account of the uploader is terminated from the tenant?
A: Videos in Stream are really owned by the tenant itself. As such if an uploader is no longer part of the tenant those videos will remain in Stream and continue to function. As mentioned above the Stream Admin's can go in to videos that they aren't an owner of and change the permissons of the videos giving ownership of the video to other groups/people.

I look forward to seeing quota/storage managment feature.
