Re: Get notifications when a new video is added to a channel

AnthonyKadic — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 09:46:12 GMT

Hi Chris, I like the channel function in stream classic. However we cannot use NEw Stream yet since migration hasn't taken place yet.

We need something like youtube. the follow button serves absolutely no purpose in Stream classic?

We'd like to regularly post new videos for the whole organisation to watch, but we need the automatic notification for everyone that follows the channel.

How can we best proceed?

Connector accessto universal print via proxy

jithinsbabu — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 07:56:23 GMT

Universal print connector while trying to connect via proxy is not working at all. Would be good if this product can be made work via a proxy connection to Universal Print. Since most of corporates use internal DNS, register.print.microsft.com is not reached directly from the server hence connection is getting failed.

Re: Ability to cut out, blank out or remove audio from sections of video

Re: Get notifications when a new video is added to a channel

s___s — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 18:30:18 GMT

, as you indicated the New Stream doesn't support the concept of a Channel. It's not clear how the people who choose to Follow a Channel will get a notification when a video is added to that Channel if the New Stream does not support Channels. What mechanism does the New Stream have for the use case where someone chooses to Follow a Channel (~YouTube subscribe) AND wants to receive a notification (~YouTube tap the Bell Icon) every time a video is added to the channel that they are following.

Record to Stream opt-in selection by user

danieljasnik — Mon, 01 Mar 2021 13:10:50 GMT

Hello team,

I have just realized that recently you published this update Use OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for meeting recordings - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs which is unfortunately making life harder for all people which are regularly publishing content on MS Stream as we will need to record video and then upload to Stream. People which are recording WWC calls, regular readiness videos or anything else would appreciate option to select where you want to store your videos as per Default.

Are you planning this or is it already in the release?
Thanks

Printer name instead of printer ID in reports

berislav1973 — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 14:19:06 GMT

Playback speed for deaf users

Please provide a 0.7 playback speed.

I teach learners who are deaf or hard of hearing and use Stream to caption their mainstream teachers' videos. It's a great resource. When we are watching quite technical demonstration videos on YouTube, we set playback speed to 0.7 which means we can watch what's happening in the picture and have enough time to read the captions. The 0.5 playback speed you have on Stream is too slow. They get fed up and lose focus.

Regarding who watched and for how long, it's true that Stream (Classic) does not provide this information. However, if you are using New Stream and thus store your video files on OneDrive for Business or SharePoint Online, you can access basic statistics about views and viewers. For site-level statistics, see Site Usage information. At the file level, select any video, and then go to the Details pane and click on Views, which brings up a separate File Statistics pane.

Re: External Guests

David McKnight — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 22:10:34 GMT

I previously used the meeting recording feature of Teams, and then downloaded the MP4 from Stream, sharing it in OneDrive. I have now migrated to New Stream which automatically saves to OneDrive/SharePoint. This meets my need to share meeting recordings with guests, though it was not easy to get there, and involved several steps. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the results.

Enable Anonymous Sharing in SharePoint Online

Most of our recorded meetings occur in a specific channel, so the first thing I did was to enable unauthenticated users to access files in that channel via a link. Prior to this time, I still created a link, but it required assigning it to an email address. In SharePoint, allowing unauthenticated users to access via a link is a two-step process, and requires administrator access.

First you need to allow it in your SharePoint tenant.
Then you may need to enable it in a specific group.

To allow it in your tenant, you must

Login as an administrator
Goto your Microsoft 365 Admin Center
Under additional Admin centers, select SharePoint
In the SharePoint Admin Center, select Policies > Sharing
Under External Sharing, select "Most Permissive/Anyone"

Under "Advanced Settings" you can also set an expiration date for the link if you wish, along with whatever other settings you choose.

To Enable/Disable It in a Specific Group

Depending on how you are setup, you may need to enable or disable "Anyone with the link" sharing in your specific group.
While still in the SharePoint Admin center select Sites > Active sites
Select the active site you want to enable or disable sharing in by clicking to the left of the active site; that will add a checkmark next to it.
Up at the top of the page, click on "Sharing," and make any changes you wish to for the site.
I suggest you select your default sharing link type as "Specific People" unless by default you want everything to be anonymous. By setting it to Specific People you need to include their email address when you create a sharing link. But you can change this link type to Anonymous at the time if you wish.

Enable New Stream Saving to OneDrive/SharePoint

This was more complicated, and in our case required modifying some tenant settings using PowerShell, so I point you to this article...

Use OneDrive for Business and SharePoint for meeting recordings - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs

We jumped through some hoops to take advantage of rolling-out functions immediately. It was worth it for us, and I appreciate the Stream team making the changes that needed to be made to make New Stream more functional for users.

We do live streaming courses and had to implement this with IBM Watson, while we have multiple terabytes of video courses sitting on SharePoint. https://starweaver.com We aren't suggesting this is free (for those outside our organization), but it is critical to be able to share streaming videos for us, and almost everyone else.

This is absurd. I can't believe the rude tone and the sense of entitlement of some people on these forums... Please apologize immediately.

Re: Disable sharing Stream recording for entire organisation

Rich_Marshall — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 09:41:05 GMT

It's also a safeguarding issue we have a number of schools on the same tenancy who share videos with the entire organization unaware they are sharing with other schools. The biggest issue is the the videos appear under discover videos, if this didn't happen and even though it was shared someone would have to be sent the link to know it exisited. We've tried to educate users but it is still a daily task to go into discover videos and in admin mode remove the tick from a handful of videos everyday.

Hallo,

dieses (Unter) Forum hier ist von MS dazu vorgesehen worden, Übersetzungsfehler zu melden. Du bist somit mit Deiner Frage hier eher im falschen Forum. Du könntest es hier beim Admin Center Forum versuchen ggf. selber nach einem passenderen Forum suchen.

Was Deine Frage betrifft, so bin ich jetzt kein Experte für's Admin Center; ich würde aber eher vermuten, dass das Downloaden der Bereichte aus der Oberfläche heraus nicht möglich ist. Vielleicht hilft Dir auch folgender Artikel weiter: Anbindung an Power BI (Abschnitt unten).

About the “Apply” button when trimming

About the “Apply” button when trimming

************

■Description(内容:(

現状動画をトリミングする際には、動画の開始位置を変更しただけでは適用ボタンがグレーアウトしたままで、動画の終了位置を変更しないと適用ボタンが活性化しない。

業務効率化のためにも、不要な工数は減らしたいため、動画の終了位置を変更せずとも [適用] ボタンが有効化される動作を要望します。

Currently, when trimming videos, if you only change the start position of a video the ‘Apply’ button stays greyed out, and stays disabled until you change the end time.

In order to improve working efficiency and reduce the amount of unnecessary actions, please make it possible to use the ‘Apply’ button without having to change the end point of the video.

Method for regular users to identify types of groups

Method for regular users to identify types of groups

************

■Description(内容:(

グループの種類により共有の可否や動作が変わる場合がありますが、一般ユーザーがグループの種類を判別する機能がありません。

一般ユーザーが操作を行ってうまくいかない場合に一般ユーザー側で想定された動作であるのかどうかの切り分けも出来ないため、管理者権限をもたないユーザーでもグループの種類を判別できるよう機能の拡張を希望します。

There are cases where differences in group types lead to differences in behavior and sharing availability, but there is no way for regular users to tell what type a group is.

In situations where users cannot do what they want to in a group, there is no way for them to tell if that behavior is intended or not, so please make it possible for users without admin rights to find out what type a group belongs to.

"showinfo=false" not working in Microsoft Streams embed code

Paul-F — Mon, 15 Feb 2021 01:54:00 GMT

The Show info option to off in the embed code does not work. When switched off, the code generator updates to "showinfo=false". However when the iframe embed code is copied to another site, the overlay of the title, likes, plays and add to watchlist, etc is still visible.

The embed code is (where #### represents the video ID) : <iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://web.microsoftstream.com/embed/video/####?autoplay=false&showinfo=false" allowfullscreen style="border:none;"></iframe>

Is there a work around to hide this video info? Or can Microsoft please update this so that it works?

Outlook for Android : suggestion (french version)

DamienGombaultRecia — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 21:32:30 GMT

Hi.

I have a a suggestion for Outlook for Android.

"Tâches" (plural) should be better than "Tâche".
We generally have multiple tasks (like "Contacts" or "Fichiers").

Thank you.

Edge : errors and suggestions (french version)

DamienGombaultRecia — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 21:27:38 GMT

Hi.

I have noticed these errors in Edge (recent build : 88.0.705.68):

"Appuyer sur Onglet pour rechercher avec xxx" should be "Appuyer sur Tab pour rechercher avec xxx".

(Tab for Tabulation key)

"Bouton «Afficher l'historique»" should be "Afficher le bouton Historique".

I think "Charger l'extension décompressée" is better than "Charger l'élément décompressé".

"Extension de pack" is wrong.
I suggest "Créer un pack d'extension".

Thank you :)

Re: Public videos

LennyDelligatti — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 20:28:01 GMT

This is absurd. Sharing a video with an external guest (like a client) is an absolutely essential capability for a video streaming platform. I can't believe this feature wasn't implemented with the very first release of Microsoft Stream.

Please implement it immediately.

Add bookmarks widget

LemonSqueezy — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 07:43:30 GMT

It would be useful to have a bookmarks or favorites card in the feed. Looks like I could add the chrome bookmarks widget to the view but I mainly use Edge and there is no option for that.

Re: 360° support in stream

how many votes is needed to get it out from the backlog? and have the Product team look at it? Can't see many in the pipeline that the PT is working on for Stream though?

ms-settings: shortcut to "Search Universal Print for Printers"

Graham1010 — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 12:43:26 GMT

The way a user can bring up the "Search Universal Print for Printers" dialog box is not the easiest for non technical users. (devices > printers > add printer > wait > Click search universal print button)

If we could have a ms-setting: shotcut directly to the "Search Universal Print for Printers". We could add this to a users start menu or desktop.

Thanks

Connector should use Windows Proxy settings

Rani_Abdellatif — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 04:41:56 GMT

In cases where the network security policy prevents the connector from communicating directly with Universal Print, the connector should be configurable to use Windows Proxy settings.

Re: 360° support in stream

maki7kada — Thu, 11 Feb 2021 02:21:50 GMT

We are using 360° videos as a part of the lerning program.
At the moment we are forced to upload to YouTube which is definitely not our preferred method inregards o privacy etc.
We are heavily invested in Office 365.
It would be great if Microsoft Stream would include that ability.

Re: Public videos

Wires001 — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 15:40:43 GMT

Just started using Stream and was asked by my boss to make the videos shareable without entering a username and password. Can't believe I'm going to have to upload them to Google Drive to do this!

Please add public sharing!

Prevent download of a recorded meeting

EsmieHN — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 13:25:24 GMT

I am emailing from a school. We like being able to record meetings to support pupils who can't access the live lesson. However, it concerns me that this can be downloaded by anybody afterwards. Please can it be set up so that it converts the video to a link which can only be viewed and not downloaded by anyone but the host?

This causes safeguarding concerns for us.

Thank you

Disable sharing Stream recording for entire organisation

Bunskoek — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 09:12:14 GMT

Enable option to disable sharing Stream recording (via Teams) with entire orginization in order to prevent confusion for users.

Re: Ability to cut out, blank out or remove audio from sections of video

Ahmed_Mounir — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 05:15:21 GMT

Trimming video from the middle is highly needed because some mistakes happens during the meeting or during the live events or some words which is not suitable while teaching students, other students can catch those words from the recording and they started to repeat it.
Also during live events sometimes the presenters doing mistakes in sharing wrong videos pictures or presentation that needs to be removed from the middle of the recorded video to be able to publish a clean version of the recorded video.

Looping videos in Stream

Download Transcripts from OneDrive

Lyn_Adams — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 03:13:51 GMT

It would be helpful if the download of transcripts were readily available from OneDrive/SharePoint - seems this is not available.
It would be helpful if it were easier to transcribe the transcript from vtt format into Word, using the Microsoft Vtt file cleaner is public domain and not able to use where the files are secure/sensitive. I cannot find any information on how secure the Microsoft VTT FIle Cleaner is, we have a lot of sensitive data.

Stream from Sharepoint/OneDrive via Stream

tbresson — Mon, 08 Feb 2021 09:58:00 GMT

I don't mind the videos are now placed somewhere else but it would be nice to point to that file from Stream and enable a link to it instead of uploading the recording to Stream for it to just place it some other place in Sharepoint and probably taking up double the space.

Since Stream doesn't get any new recordings people have no idea what videos are made and where they are. Stream was our portal and index of video content. For new employees needing to see something or for people coming back from time off and seeing what content was made since last.

Unless of course a new kind of portal / index of videos exists.
