sub-folders within a Stream Channel?
Is there a way to add sub-folders within a Stream Channel? I'm using this extensively with two classes and for Staff training. It would be highly effective to be able to split certain video's into groups - this would help students locate resources by unit / topic more readily.
thanks!

Ah, I see. We only have 2 levels of hierarchy in Stream (Group > Channel).
Your only option with what's available now would be to change around groups so you have more groups than just 1. Sorry.
You can add your ideas / feedback / votes on our ideas forum: http://aka.ms/StreamIdeas
We don't have any plans currently to add a new layer of hierarchy to the channel itself.
We do have playlists on our backlog to do, which might help you out, but I'm not sure yet when we'll pickup playlists to do. (If we did it would likely be late 2018).
Marc Mroz Hello, I posted an idea with regards to the original comment on this thread: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-ideas/add-folders-to-stream-channels/idi-p/1968911
I'd be happy either being able to share a Stream group via a tab in a Teams channel or having sub-folders within a Stream Channel - just want to make sure to keep the conversation going 🙂
Thanks!

Hi Simon - In Stream if you want to have a main area / landing page for your videos with the ability to sub-divide or organize the videos at a 2nd level, you'll need to use a Group.
Groups in Stream are tied to O365 Groups and handle permissions as well as organizing of videos. Within a group in Stream you can make sub-channels within that group to further organize your videos.
Here is the help article we have that explains groups and channels in Stream: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/groups-channels-overview
Does that help? Or is there a reason you can't use O365 Groups / Stream Groups right now?
