Re: "Accidental" email archiving during typo correction
gszatmari This has been driving me nuts! I knew I kept getting emails going to archive but wasn't able to figure out what the trigger was until today. When I finally figured it out, I came in here to see if others had noticed it too. Thank you for posting! I do have a small workaround to avoid it, but not a fix to stop it for good (cough code release cough). The problem only happens when you're working from a reply (or forward) that is within the frame of the Outlook app, and doesn't happen on a version of the same message that has been popped out to a new window. So for an individual message where you want to make sure to avoid it, use the pop out to new window button then compose the message. And for the person who's annoyed by this frequently, they may want to set their application default to always pop out on compose and reply. I notice that the popped out window also is a little friendlier on that point of where it's suggesting the solution. It still doesn't want you to just start typing over or backspacing or deleting the word, but it seems to respond a little better if you do a double-click on the word, that hover card disappears a little faster and you can start working on the change you want to make.397Views1like2CommentsRe: Microsoft Stream
Microsoft has been holding pretty steady about the April 15, 2024 retirement date for Stream Classic. Now that it has passed, if your tenant admin(s) haven't informed you about their migration of data, then the data is most likely inaccessible or gone. But I would suggest two approaches you might want to try. First, reach out to your internal IT support teams and see if they are aware of any migrations that were conducted for Stream Classic to SharePoint Online. If they are not aware at all, it may still be worth taking a look at what video content you can find from the New Stream experience, using search if necessary. I say that because if they did use the migration tool, a lot of content may have gone from Stream Classic right into the OneDrive of the owner of the content. (Content that was migrated with the Microsoft Stream Migration Tool is often stored in a folder called exactly "Stream Migrated Videos," so that might give you another avenue by which to try hunting for data.) jonahwills22876Views0likes0CommentsRe: Insert Stream (SharePoint) Link in PowerPoint
charleneevans That function you're after should be fixed ... sort of! If you'll store your presentation on SharePoint or OneDrive, then use the web version of the PowerPoint application to edit it, you should find that the "insert video" feature from the Web app offers more options including SharePoint and OneDrive. I've been able to test successfully with links to videos stored in SharePoint and OneDrive. If you don't want to keep your PowerPoint presentation stored in the cloud after you made this change, then you should be able to download it and the video will still work. It will just ask if it's OK to open the video in your browser (as it would if it were a Youtube video or other web based source). I believe the PowerPoint desktop app was planned for this same update, but that you might need to update what you have installed on your workstation if you aren't seeing this fix yet. Sorry I don't have the PowerPoint app versions handy to tell you what release has this fix in it.2.2KViews3likes1CommentRe: This video has no sound
Our ticket was resolved in August. There were so many that were not working, more than a dozen. We were advised that something was fixed on the back-end, so we downloaded them and re-uploaded, which did in fact resolve the problem for at least 9 that I tried personally, and the video owner said she fixed the others. So at this point, I'm not sure I could share a sample any longer because we "fixed" them by re-uploading. Cheers! (Happy to send you the ticket info if you'd like it.)11KViews1like1CommentRe: This video has no sound
Yes. We opened a ticket for the problem, and Microsoft was able to provide a resolution for us. I don't know whether they did something to apply just to our tenant or might apply for all. As part of the solution, we were asked to re-upload the videos after they made some change somewhere. (Meaning when I opened this thread back in in May 2023, re-uploading or uploading to different places never helped. But after they made a change and asked us to re-upload, the audio definitely did start working. For some videos, the only copies we had were in SharePoint, so downloading then re-uploading did also work.) I don't know if that will be helpful or not - I was reluctant to update the thread since I didn't know if it was a fix just for us or more globally. I'd suggest you try a few files and see if re-upload helps. If not, then open a ticket for sure.15KViews1like0CommentsRe: Insert Stream (SharePoint) Link in PowerPoint
I just had some success with testing! I opened PowerePoint Online and used the Insert Menu > Online video, then entered the link for a video I had stored on OneDrive. Worked fine. Repeated with a link for a video stored on SharePoint.23KViews2likes0CommentsPlaylists Experience in Teams
As we are working to get people accustomed to the new experiences of Videos on SharePoint and using Microsoft Lists, I'm finding that the Playlists experience in Teams does not match the experience in a browser. Wondering if others see the same, or if there's something we need to change on the tenant to resolve? If I visit Microsoft Lists from a browser, and click on "New List," I'm presented with a series of templates available from Microsoft. One of those templates is Playlists. If I go to Microsoft Teams, either from the desktop app or from the browser version of Teams, I can add "Lists" as a tab on a Teams channel. That gives me a couple of buttons on the page, one for "Create a List." When I click that, I'm shown a page that looks awful similar to the one from Microsoft Lists, but the available templates does not match, and does not include Playlists. Attaching two images for reference. In the Teams experience, I'm seeing three templates that are missing from the Lists experience. Ideally, I would think those sets of templates should match perfectly if they were both supposedly drawing from Microsoft Lists? Summarizing with a question relating to Stream - How can we get Playlists to show in the Teams List Tab experience?764Views1like0CommentsRe: Insert Stream (SharePoint) Link in PowerPoint
I came in here wondering if anyone has found a workaround for this, and doesn't sound like there is one yet? I find it especially" special" that I can feed the PowerPoint dialog box a SharePoint URL and it tells me it's not recognized. MS Forms doesn't seem to like SharePoint based video URLs either.26KViews1like3CommentsRe: New chapters taking all my storage space./How to turn off versioning/delete old versions all at once
CFHsu Cool, thank you for the tips on getting to the helpful settings in classic .... that's great! I do wonder though, if it brings up the question about whether OneDrive is the best place to be storing the video. I had noticed that there is a user experience difference between OneDrive and SharePoint. SP has the "delete versions" and "delete all minor versions" options easily visible. I'm not sure if that difference is by design or by oversight, but the versions delete option is missing for other file types as well, it's not just a Videos\Stream problem. So if your videos that require a lot of editing were moved to a SharePoint location, you'd have that delete versions link a little more readily available, and your management of the files within libraries would be more granular, to the point you could even shut off versioning altogether on the library, tho I'm not sure I'd want to go that route except in rare cases.

Rather than ask the question "How do I upload a video to a streams Channel," the better question would be, "How do I get other people to see a video I want to upload?" Before, those people you wanted to see it would have to go to a special video-only portal to look for it, and find your channel among all the other channels, and then find it among the videos you've uploaded to the channels. If you wanted to display your video on SharePoint, you had to use a special web part. If you wanted to share it outside the company, you couldn't. Now, with Stream (on SharePoint), you'll upload the video to a spot in OneDrive or SharePoint Online that makes sense for the content of the video. If it's about cats, and you want to share it with a few people, maybe you'll upload it to a folder in your OneDrive named Cats and share it with them from there. If it's about dogs, and you want to share it with lots and lots of people, maybe you'll upload it to a Communication site about Dogs. If it's important to a group of people you work with, then maybe you'll upload it to a channel in a Microsoft Team (which will sit in SharePoint). Regardless of storage location, you can manage the permissions and sharing on it just like any of the other files you upload or create. If you want to share it outside the company, you might be able to do so (provided your company's tenant allows for the location where you stored it). And if you want to display it on a SharePoint page, you don't have to use a special video-only web part anymore. You can use several regular SharePoint web parts such as Highlighted Content, File and Media, or even the Hero. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/using-videos-on-sharepoint-pages-5a0eb37c-81a8-45b7-875e-ff0515dd2e5f As to that massive pot of chaos, can't really help you there. 🙂1.5KViews1like1CommentRe: New Stream 'Playlist' template in Microsoft Lists
I'm not seeing the Playlist template from the Lists App in Teams. Teams Version 1.6.00.17474 (64-bit) updated on 6/28/23. Steps taken ... navigate to Team > Channel > Add Tab > Lists App. On Lists App page, the Templates shown do not match the same templates I see when I open Microsoft Lists from a browser. Playlist is missing. (Ironically, I do see 3 other templates in the Lists App that I don't see from a browser, so I guess something is not syncing up correctly?)2.9KViews0likes0CommentsRe: This video has no sound
It's been a few weeks, and there's still been no resolution with our ticket opened with Microsoft. The one thing that I found for anyone reading this may be interested in knowing ... the problem appears to be with the new Stream player specifically. If a person navigates to the Document Library hosting the file and goes to the trouble of assembling the archaic version of a URL for that file, then the file can be opened in the Browser directly, without the new Stream Player. So here are the types of URLs you get if you use the spiffy "Copy Link" or "Share Link", in the new world of SharePoint Online. These will display a Microsoft Stream player to play the video and sound won't work. https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?FolderCTID=GUID&id=%2Fsites%2Fmarketing%2FShared%20Documents%2Ffilename%2Emp3&parent=%2Fsites%2Fmarketing%2FShared%20Documents https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/_layouts/15/stream.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2Fmarketing%2FShared%20Documents%2Ffilename%2Emp3&referrer=SharePoint%2Eweb&referrerScenario=OpenDocLib%2Eview But if you know SharePoint well enough to build out the path complete with its %20's and such, but leaving out the extra stuff, then opening the file this way will open it directly in the browser. In this manner, I can get the "no sound" videos to play with sound. Sound should work: https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/marketing/Shared%20Documents/filename.mp316KViews0likes11CommentsThis video has no sound
Sound or Audio Troubleshooting assistance needed. One of our coworkers has created videos using Adobe Premiere Pro then uploaded to Stream on SharePoint Online. While hosted on SharePoint Online, the video has no sound. When playing the video I can hover over the speaker control icon, and the tip balloon will say "This video has no sound." A visitor can then download the video from Stream, and it will play just fine with audio in Windows Media Player. The behavior is the same across different desktop browsers, Stream mobile app, and same when uploaded to a dev tenant. I went on a hunt to learn more about video creation and posting and landed on this article. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/video-formats-you-can-play-on-the-onedrive-website-07c008b2-70e4-4ced-8a9b-f25bed77196a#:~:text=You%20can%20play%20most%20audio,and%20all%20across%20Microsoft%20365 Based on that information, the owner re-produced the video with a lower bitrate and that didn't help. Here are the specs on the file: Dimensions 1920x1080 Codecs MPEG-4 AAC, H.264 Color Profile HD(1-1-1) Duration 05:34 Audio Channels Stereo I'm told this isn't the first time it's happened, only the most recent. Any guidance on how best to resolve?Solved18KViews0likes18CommentsRe: Blocked accounts removed from Microsoft Teams even though they're still in the O365 Group!
ChrisWebbTech I don't suppose Microsoft is ever going to add a real field to AD/AzureAD that means "employee left company" are they? Continuing to build termination processes based off the "account disabled" event is a bit mind boggling. There are plenty of reasons to disable an account that have nothing to do with termination of employment, and some reasons to retain active enabled accounts after termination. Automation can be awesome when the correct trigger starts it.30KViews0likes0CommentsTeams Admin Center shows incorrect owner(s)
Found what I think is a bug in the Teams Admin center. -Go to Manage Teams in Teams Admin -Find a team that you want to manage -Click on that team's name, so that you're now viewing the team details card up at the top, and a listing of members and owners below -Click to sort any of the first four columns (Display Name, Username, Title, Location) -The "Role" column does not sort along with the other records So if you start out viewing records where row #3 says "Owner" and you re-sort the data, row #3 will still say Owner, now appearing next to an incorrect name Tested this behavior from two different machines using Chrome and Edge Chromium Beta. The page doesn't work well at all in IE11, not displaying all the names, so couldn't test it fully with that browser.1.6KViews0likes1CommentRe: Error when saving properties even if filled out
Frank-Ove I came in here looking for a similar problem that I think is related. In my case I have a simple modern list with a column in it to hold numbers. I can go into that item, and change a 2 to a 3, and watch the darn thing change back to a 2 again right as it waves a little "saved" at me when I take my focus away to another field. But if I go land back in the field a second time, the 3 will pop up again the way I want it to be, and it may or may not tell me for a second time that it has saved, but the 3 will stick. If I don't actually go back in to check the field, that 3 will still have stuck anyway, but I'm paranoid and want to make sure it's there. So I would agree there's definitely something buggy going on with the Edit Item dialogue box as it relates to editing fields of data and the save-on-the-fly process. I've tested with a couple of Win10 machines both IE11 and Chrome, all same buggy behavior. A suggestion for your scenario where it's saying can't be blank ... try landing back into the field again for that second helping of field-level "save" and see if that helps.18KViews0likes0Comments
