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.

@kbaker76 this is going to sound stupid, but you can simply change the extention to mp4 without any magic up your sleeves ;)

Other than trimming the recording, have any better solutions been found the MP4 file conversion? My issue with trimming the video is I can't do that with recordings other people share with me. Or is there a way to trim videos in Stream that are shared after they've been published? @kbaker765

Bonjour, @Wim_Groffils
Ton astice fonctionne. on peu tlire le fichier sur le lecteur média ou VLC.
Mais pour le retravailler dans adobe prmiere ou avs editor le problème reste résiduel.
Meme renommé en mp4 on a une erreur qu ifait que cela est impossible de retravailler le fichier.
Cordialement
