Sorry if this has been covered already, but I couldn't find any recent updates.
We're only just starting to test Stream.
I'm looking for how we the videos are surfaced in our enterprise search on Sharepoint. That's where people access everything else on O365 (People, Documents, Pages etc.) as well as our current videos which are in a standard Sharepoint library.
You'd think this would be a basic requirement, but from doing some reading around, it looks like it may not possible...?!
Not good news for our search users if that's the case... Any thoughts appreciated... thanks.

It seems that Microsoft is really pushing customers to start keeping videos right in SharePoint. Previously videos in a document library didn't stream so you had to put them into Microsoft Video and later Stream. This created search and navigation confusion for our end users. Now that SharePoint and OneDrive support video streaming, the easiest thing to do may be to just add them to a SharePoint document library. The benefit to the users is that now you can have all your content (i.e., documents, pdfs, videos) all in one place with shared property tags.

@Tom Chippendale @Jace Copier has there been an update on this? I was looking to integrate Stream with Sharepoint search but was unable to

@Naithikbidari, I have put my initiatives on hold, but it looks like Stream is now being considered Stream (Classic) and the new version is known as Stream (built on SharePoint). Looks like they are incorporating Stream directly within SharePoint sites now. You can find more details here:
The new version of Microsoft Stream - Microsoft Stream | Microsoft Docs
It sounds like any video stored in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Yammer will be considered Stream Videos moving forward. This approach should allow the videos to appear in search by default; however, it also appears to not have all the same functionality the Steam (Classic) has currently.
The following features are offered in Stream (Classic), but are not currently available in Stream (on SharePoint):
Sounds pretty bare bones to me right now. I sure hope they incorporate a lot of the missing features soon.
