Microsoft Stream Admins (not Sharepoint admins)

Anthony Robinson  - No Stream (Classic) will start it's 6 month and 1 year count down until no new videos can be uploaded to it and when it fully retires in Q1 of CY2023 (likely around February). (https://aka.ms/StreamMigration) 

Take a watch of our Ignite video where we try and address some of your concerns and give you the reasoning why we are heading in this direction:

You don't need to make your Event team SP/OneDrive admins. They may need to be site owners for a few SharePoint sites where you want to store your live events that are available to the entire organization. They can upload/manage the videos in those few SP sites directly on behalf of the organization. 

There are likely already many videos being stored in your user's OneDrive and SharePoint sites even if you've not said it's the "correct" way to do it. With our switch to Stream (on SharePoint) we are making video playback great directly from the place ALL other files are stored. And adding much more flexibility in how you manage, govern, and feature videos.
