Join us for a special Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) live video stream across four Microsoft content collaboration products: SharePoint, OneDrive, Lists, and Stream! Our product teams will be answering your questions about future roadmap and recent innovation – and offering insights on what to expect in the coming months.
Each team will present five minutes of content to catch you up on the highlights, and to spark what questions you might ask, and then have 10-15 minutes to take your questions. Post your questions at any time – starting your question with the product name to help us navigate it to the right experts; example: “SharePoint: How will Copilot help me create pages and news in the future?”
This is a great opportunity to get answers to any questions you may have from recent Microsoft 365 Conference (May 2-4, 2023) disclosures: Review Jeff Teper’s May 2nd (5/2) blog post.

- gbickertBrass Contributor[SharePoint] Are there plans to allow external guest users to access shared pages without 2FA when 2FA is turned on for the tenant or otherwise simplify sharing for external guest users? IRL, it is difficult for "non-techie" people outside the organization to access shared pages when 2FA is on for the tenant and it is difficult for the business to share pages without high level of direct IT support with the way sharing currently works.

Thanks for the feedback Greg! The security settings are controlled by the tenant admin and we respect those settings for every SharePoint object including Pages. So if an admin has setup 2FA its a security requirement that the admin need for accessing any content on SharePoint and pages would not be able to circumvent that. I would like to understand more details on what the scenario is and if there is an admin in your company that has an opinion on this that would really help us.
- CatherineBrass ContributorRecordings - Stream Classic was an incredible and highly loved portal by my agency. New Stream doesn't have the Trim feature. Will that be brought back?
- Marc Mroz

We are working on a full video editor for M365 enterprise by brining Clipchamp into M365 later this year. Stay tuned for announcements. We are also working on a "soft trim" feature where we can do a quick metadata trim in Stream itself. The project is under development but it's a harder project because we want to deal with transcript, chapters, etc without loosing them on trim. So no timeline we can promise but it's under active development.
- Carl_AegisIron ContributorWhen will SharePoint be able to edit PDF files rather than just view. Currently Bluebeam has a work-around but it is complicated for basic users and cumbersom even for advanced users.
- CatherineBrass ContributorAccessibility - Forcing a person who needs an accessible version of a PDF to go through multiple steps to open their document in Adobe instead of using a viewer is not productive and can be very frustrating to the customer. I heard the explanation of how to do it but that is not nice. It would benefit all to be able to open a PDF in its native format right away.

When an option of Audience Targeting on List and Library views will be available?
@Emily Perina: can someone from your team provide some more details about the above question along with question from Carole Laurent regarding support of SharePoint groups for audience targeting.
Regards,
Yogendra
- Al BergsteinCopper ContributorSharePoint: When moving large numbers of files, can you make the move tool be much more interactive as to how long it's taking? I recently moved hundreds of files and would love to have seen a progress bar to help us understand how long this is happening.
- Susan FordCopper ContributorWill there be an easier way to save a SP site as a template within our tenant?
- KasperLarsenIron ContributorThe PnP Provisioning engine is most likely your best bet right now
- sheree2020Copper ContributorI'm having issues with uploading videos to document libraries instead of Stream. Users are experiencing buffering and low quality video. Is there anything we need to do differently to give a better user experience?
- Marc Mroz
Microsoft
We've invested a ton into making videos uploaded to normal document libraries work from SP directly and we have on going engineers finding and fixing playback issues. If you want to open up a support ticket we can pull logs for some specific instances and investigate deeper.
- SignedAdamOccasional ReaderI'm bing told by Microsoft storage that I'm almost out of my 5GB storage allowance on outlook, this same storage is used for emails and my computers, please would the team consider giving free users more storage, for reference Google drive are giving free users 15GB of online storage for photo, yet we are meant to make do with 5GB for a whole computer ?
- SignedAdamOccasional ReaderMark-Kashman you're still live on https://www.youtube.com/live/X0O_7LEPkA0?feature=share please could I see this addressed?
- Carter_MSFT

5GB is the storage quota given to free users. I will also note that only email attachments will go towards this 5GB space, not all your email messages. There is no plans currently to lift this limit but I would say that our 100GB plan is very affordable at $1.99/month for consumers.- SignedAdamOccasional ReaderI'd also like to add Carter_MSFT that OneDrive automatically adds files from my computer to the online storage limit, files I'll add, I don't need backing up, which is adding towards my limit, I don't understand how Microsoft thinks 5GB is enough for a whole computer, Google drive doesn't back up a whole computer but even they understand 5GB isn't enough for free users and backing up photos
- Roger BieferOccasional ReaderWhen do you remove the classic pages for good! Don't always keep this old stuff.
- suyog_gadgil
Microsoft
Thanks for your question Roger! We would love to understand more here. A lot of our customers still use classic pages for a number of reasons so we have to be super careful about deprecation. Are there clear usability or other issues that you are facing because classic pages exist- Roger BieferOccasional ReaderWe have an on-premises SharePoint for over 15 years in our environment migrating from 2007 to 2016. Now we are migrating to M365 SPO. However, some users still request to use the classic pages in SPO for mostly nostalgic reasons. Most of our users dislike the classic pages because they look ugly and are not modern and progressive. I fully understand that some of your clients use classic pages but why are they not using on-premises SharePoint. Super careful is not always ok. You phase out other stuff too. I just think classic pages have nothing lost in the cloud.
- CatherineBrass ContributorRecordings - Concerned about Teams Meeting recordings be available to all in the event and not just the host. I might be missing it, how can the recordings be set so only the host has access to a recording until it can be cleaned up and posted in the permanent save location.
- Marc Mroz
Microsoft
There isn't any features in Teams that lets you do this. The attendees of a meeting that are inside your organization will get view links to the recording as soon as it's over. The only thing you can do is have the meeting organizer and/or the person who clicked record who has edit access to the video file, remove the share link to the attendees.
