OneDrive Direct Download Link
Hi all, My Problem and Question This question pertains to OneDrive for personal use. Microsoft recently made a change to the link format from the embed feature and made my direct download links obsolete. I would retrieve these links from the embed feature in OneDrive and the links looked like what's shown below. The link would directly serve the file to whomever accessed it without them ever having to interact with OneDrive. With the changes Microsoft recently made to OneDrive, is there a new way of getting links that have this functionality? Old link format (no longer works): https://onedrive.live.com/download?resid=XXXXXXXXXXX&authkey=XXXXXXXXXXX My Own Digging I've scoured several forums unable to find any solutions. I have found a temporary solution; however, the links generated via this method only have temporary authentication, so they expire after a day. Perhaps it could be a real solution if I could figure out how to get a permanent auth token for a personal OneDrive file. I'm retrieving the link from the GET request when clicking the download button on a file from a publicly shared link. Link format: https://my.microsoftpersonalcontent.com/personal/{resid}/_layouts/15/download.aspx?UniqueId=XXXXXXXXXXXXX&Translate=false&tempauth=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&ApiVersion=2.0 Thank you to anyone that has input!
Microsoft Stream w/ VideoJs + API
I have searched a ton into this topic, and so far I can tell is that there is no way to really use a custom video player with Microsoft Stream/ Sharepoint videos unless its for embedding only. The Issue: Trying to listen for video player events via JavaScript in order to track video playing and etc by a user, and hook in executable task when those events are fired. What I've tried so far with no luck: Tried parsing the video url to get the manifest and then show the video via a custom video player using video.js observing and listening on the embedded video iframe's events to capture iframe messages or broadcast channel If anyone has some solid suggestions please advise!
Audio file embeds not working
I have a site and a few audio files in my OneDrive account that I want to embed in said site using the HTML `<audio>` tag. I'm following https://stackoverflow.com/a/65415373's instructions and it works fine in my personal OneDrive account, which generates embed codes in the following format: <iframe src="https://onedrive.live.com/embed?resid=XXXXXXXX&authkey=YYYYYYYYYY" width="98" height="120" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> (note the URL domain: https://onedrive.live.com) However, in my client's OneDrive account, embeds are generated using a shortened URL domain, like this: <iframe src="https://1drv.ms/u/s!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?embed=1" width="98" height="120" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe> Naturally, this URL format breaks embedding audio and I don't know how to circumvent this. I tried changing "embed=1" with "download=1" but it didn't work out. How can I make these "shortened" URLs work with the audio tag? Perhaps there's a way to disable URL shortening for embeds?? Thanks in advanceI wanted to create an embed link for onedrive files in work account.
I referred the link. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/onedrive/developer/rest-api/api/driveitem_createlink?view=odsp-graph-online. But could not create a embed link programmatically. (Since it is a work account) Is there any other way to create an embed link through an programmatically?Embed LinkedIn Content in SharePoint
LinkedIn has removed the Embed option so we can't grab code from posts that we want to highlight on our intranet home page (which is a (SharePoint Online Comm site). Any ideas on a workaround or another web part we could use? Does Microsoft have plans for a LinkedIn web part like they do for YouTube or Twitter?
Embed Powerpoint Requires Login to Sharepoint Now?
I am trying to embed a PowerPoint. I get the embed code and put into my website. I can get to it fine, but others can not - it is asking them to sign in to Sharepoint? I can send a 'share' link and set up the permissions to allow anyone to view and/or edit, and the share link works fine, but in the embed screen, no such permissions are shown. So the share link can be viewed and/or edited by anyone as long as I set up the permissions to allow that, but the embed code always requires a sign-in to Sharepoint? Given this, I've tried replacing the link in the embed code with the share link that actually works, but that does not work - its disallowed to be delivered in an iFrame by Microsoft, and requires it to be viewed in its own top-level window. I opened a support ticket with Microsoft, spoke with a live rep, shared my screen, and after she herself was confused, she consulted with the tech team and called me back an hour later, and it was determined that this is 'just the way it works now for embeds' - meaning unlike the rest of the Internet, Microsoft's embeds can not work unless someone has Sharepoint, although the non-embedded share link works just fine? After all, the Share > Embed option has a subtitle that says "Embed this presentation into your blog or website". It just doesn't seem like this is or should be the intended functionality. I want the embed code to be viewable by anyone and everyone without requiring them to have an account or sign in. Does anyone know how to get this to function properly so anyone can view the Powerpoint embed without needing to sign in to Sharepoint? Thanks.
That video couldn't be found.
I have recorded meetings in Teams which I have downloaded and manually uploaded to Stream. The videos have processed successfully and been published - I can watch them back in full in Stream with all features (transcripts etc). However, when I click on the 'Share' feature and select 'Embed' I get a "That video couldn't be found." error. The same error appears when I embed these videos into a Sharepoint site and I try to watch them back. BUT - when other users access the same Sharepoint pages, they CAN watch the videos back. It seems like me (the owner of the videos and the Sharepoint pages) is the only person who gets the error. Any advice on why this might be happening?Visibility of preview video on embedded player Streams unavailable
Dear readers, Does anyone know how to get a preview of an uploaded video in the player of Streams? When I embed the player on a social media platform, where we're already logged in with our organization account (same account used as the Microsoft products), I can't see a preview of the video. It only shows a big grey player with play button in the middle. When you click on it, it flawlessly plays the video though. Does anyone know how to solve this? Or has any experience with this as well? The platform works perfect with iframe codes, the embed itself doesn't really seem to be the problem. Even though the same organization accounts are used to use both Streams and the platform, is it an authorization problem? I already checked with the social platform and they don't understand why it's not showing a preview. Other than assuming it might have something to do with rights that doesn't work well with each other. Thank you in advance!Need a 'Click to Call' button that doesn't force https://
This should be such a simple task, but there are Obsticles. Trying to add a "Click to Call" button in SharePoint. You would think that adding tel:0123456789 to the link field in a button Web Part would do the trick, but it doesn't. Our SPO site is forcing https:// at the beginning of the code and this takes us to a blocked page instead of making the phone call. Have also tried various types of html in the Embed Code Web Part, such as: <a href="tel:0123456789">Click to Call</a>with the same response. I've tried putting it in an iFrame too, still no joy. Does anyone know the solution please?
Embed video does not play, stuck on loading
While usually the embed iframe makes dozens of requests at once, often it doesn't, apparently caching wrong request data that stops the content from being reloaded. It usually happens after one successful load of the iframe, in which it loads all packages within a couple of moments. Yet, if the page is reloaded, the iframe fails to load and does not resolve requests even if it was to throw an error. Instead, it only makes slow requests for Fragments with varying QualityLevels params. A clear cache reload works, but only sometimes and it is impractical. Clearing all cache data solves the issue until it is reloaded again. There is only one error on the console from the Streams page, but it also appears when the video works perfectly.
