Hi! I created some videos in my stream and need to download them as either a .mp4, .mov, or .avi type of file. Right now it's only downloading as a .webm file. How do I fix this?

@kbaker765 You can not choose the format you want to download a video in Stream. It downloads the format you or the tool has uploaded. You have to do the conversion on your computer with a tool to mp4!
The valid Input formats you can find here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/input-audio-video-formats-codecs
Matroska/WebM (.mkv) is listed!

Howdy!! quick solution would be to trim a part of that video like 2 seconds within microsoft stream and then try to download it again. This time it downloads in mp4 format.
It worked for me. Hope it works for you. Thanks

@Tomislav Karafilov That is a strange limitation. The entire world uses MP4 - why would our buddies at MS choose .WEBM? There has to be another way...

@kbaker765 Thank you for the tip! It worked! @microsoft, surely this is something that you should be able to fix.

Yup. That worked for me! (Now who would have guessed ...?)

@Erwinas try Duo Video Converter, which is a free download from the MS store to convert the file to MP4.
