Stream Embed not visible (webpart is blank) in iOS on mobile
Apple is aware of the behavior as it exists today and when we filed the iframe cookie bugs they marked the bug as a dupe. You are free to reach out to them directly as well.
I would like to know if there has been a resolution for the above subject.

Stacey
- Kane316May 08, 2019Copper ContributorThis is also an issue we're facing with iOS\mobile browser. We want to design a new collaboration\social media strategy at our company leveraging the Microsoft ecosystem but when users are faced with a webpart that either requires another authentication prompt or is blocked due to cookies, it's not a great consumer experience. In my case, if i access web.microsoftstream.com, the web part shows up after refreshing the SharePoint page but that isn't a viable option. I've submitted a premier case. Please...please...find a solution!

carolyn910 I'm so sorry to hear your issues getting a resolution to this from the support team. Let me ping you offline for more details and I can set up a call if necessary.

Saili Raje Marc Mroz Is there any update at all on this issue? We have premium support, and attempted to get an update with the incredibly frustrating response as if Microsoft had never heard of this problem and a standard 'we can't recreate the issue (through multiple levels of escalation up to and including someone from the product team.)
We are using the Preview Stream web part in a modern site. As with others, the videos display and play just fine on desktop but not on iOS mobile devices (iPhone or iPad). We tried the workaround suggested of turning off Prevent Cross-Site Tracking, clearing cache & cookies, etc. but the web part still displays a message indicating that a setting in the browser is blocking cookies (I have cookie blocking turned off too, and block pop-ups for good measure) -- and prompting to Open in a new window. All our MSFT and Apple versions are current.
Our company has standardized on Apple mobile devices and we are getting ready to roll out our brand new intranet built on SP modern. This is a huge blocking issue. Is there any news -- and it would be great if your support and product folks were made aware as well.

Hi Saili Raje, will this solution to the log-in/auth problem also work for embedding Stream in another mobile (browser) app ? Or is it only for the sharepoint app ? I'm working with an ISV for a retail customer. We want to position stream together (embedded) in the app the ISV have developed for this customer. Tx for your guidance.

Marc Mroz I am using the Stream (Preview) Webpart on a Modern communication site and have configured it to display a Stream Channel. This displays in the page correctly on all devices apart from iOS. It does not display correctly either in Safari or in the SharePoint app. I just get a Microsoft Stream grey background with the text "To see this content, sign in".
Ideas?

Chris Cundy can you make sure the page you are displaying in the SP mobile app is a modern page using the Stream webpart directly? If you are using the embed webpart with the stream embedcode, the whole flow Saili mentioned doesn't work. It will only work if you use the Stream webpart itself on the page.
If you are using the modern webpart you may be encountering a bug, the sharepoint team is looking into it right now.

Hi Saili,
Just to advise I have tested in both the SharePoint App and Safari on my iOS devices and stream is still prompting to login. I am in the UK so maybe the changes have not yet replicated to the app in the UK AppStore?

I just wanted to notify you all that our changes have been pushed to prod in the sharepoint iOS app so you should be able to playback you Stream content without logging in now. Since Apple blocked our inline playback flow we implemented a placeholder that you can select which pops open the video player or channel embed and enables you to playback. Please let me know if you have any questions!
thanks for all your patience and feedback!
