Students unable to download my videos from Microsoft Stream
I've loaded a number of videos, but my students are able to view but not download them. Is it a setting I need to enable on my side?

Duwayne From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/portal-download-video : "You can download the originally uploaded video if you uploaded the video file or you are an owner of the video."
- this doesn't make sense. If I am the owner, I don't need to download. I need to download when we have meetings and an external organization records the video and shares with me. So, I should be able to download the meeting as it has an expiry date, and be able to save in my system
Tomislav Karafilov , thanks for your response.
The challenge I'm having is that my students would like to download the videos directly from stream. I know that I am able to download these, however does it mean that I need to download it and then load it on another platform for them like youtube or something.... are they not able to download it directly?
Duwayne If the students are not owners of the videos, they could not download it. You can put your students in a Stream group and give the group the owner rights for each video. And does "download" mean download the file on disk or only view the video?
Let me ask an other question: Why should the students download the videos? Why don't they watch it in Stream? With the mobile app they can download the video and view it offline.
(When the students are owner, they can delete or change the video, so caution!)
