External Sharing with Stream or Video

I teach kindergarten students and need the ability to give them easy access to videos I've prepared.  I usually do this by creating a QR code for them to scan, but for this to work I need the ability...

t did not work for us. No matter what we did - nothing worked. We have since started converting our mixes to Vimeo video links so we don't lose them when the transition is final. We have our training through the mixes we use and then we use ProProfs for LDManagement. Hope that helps or they fix it soon. Not likely though.

Wow. Guess I'm uploading this training video to YouTube, then. What the heck, Microsoft!?

    I have 3000+ users and have resorted to using a paid service to prevent the advertising popups that come with YouTube. The entire security model in Stream is useless (try changing who can view a channel after it's created). Strongly considering migrating to gmail.

      If you use groups in stream you can change who can view/edit/own, but channels are either companywide (everyone can view) or part of group and inherit from the group.

       

      We realize this current model has it's downfalls like you mentioned above. In 2018 we are looking at moving away from companywide channels and making all channels be in a group. That way you can always have the permission control on the group level, with the added benefit of having the home page for the group and be able to have other channels be also under that group for more organization.

        I wouldn't recommend switching purely to a group model, since in many cases, having company wide access is absolutely desired.  ...and right now, not sure I can have a group which incorporates the entire University.

         

        I would say, though, that having external access is absolutely necessary to see any widespread adoption of Stream within my University.  Please get some engineers working on this!
