Stream on SharePoint Thumbnails Not Updating
So here's the scenario...and what I think could be a common scenario. 1. You add a video to a document library that you want to display on a page 2. You go to the library and launch the video to access Video Settings 3. You upload an image as the thumbnail 4. You add a file viewer web part to a page to display the video and the proper thumbnail displays Then a few days later your customer asks you to use a different image as the thumbnail...you follow steps 1-3 above and the thumbnail never updates on the page where the video is being displayed. When you access the source video from the doc library and view the details pane....you can see the NEW thumbnail showing up...but yet it won't display on the page where you placed the file viewer web part. This has happened on several occasions. Why are the simplest things the most difficult in SharePoint? Super frustrating. Before you suggest clearing cache...I don't think we should have to depend on our customers to clear cache every time we make an update to a thumbnail.
Question regarding the new Stream on sharepoint roadmap
Hi I looked at the roadmap, except the trim of videos, will you develop all the Stream classic features in the new Stream on SharePoint? we can see that there are still a lot of features which have still the "planned" status... What will be not developed? thank youLinks to STREAM on SharePoint video behave differently depending on mail app
Hi All, Two questions Do you experience the same thing in your tenant on iOs devices? Anyone got a recommendation on least worst link to educate users to use? The problem: links to stream videos don't have same outcome for iOs device users. Depending on, the link to a stream video sent via email AND the mail client used on the iOs device the user experience is different !!! Testing done: I created an email in outlook for web that contained 3 links to a Stream on SharePoint video. Then I opened that email on an iPhone 7 ios device (iOs 15.7.4). I confirmed issue existed on iPhone 11 too. Our users use both Apple Mail app and Microsoft Outlook app. AND they have adifferent experience depending on which mail client they use when the click on the links in the email. Mail - No version Outlook - V4.2309.4 Link 1 - click video in SharePoint library, copy the url https://MyTenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/MyIntranetSite/Video/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FMyIntranetSite%2FVideo%2FCEO%20%2D%206%20Apr%2Emp4&parent=%2Fsites%2FMyIntranetSite%2FVideo - mail app, opens browser window, video is displayed in some type of Video player in sharepoint - outlook app, within outlook , outlook opens a stream type app then begins to download the entire video prior to playing. If video is big (500mb) the progress bar finishes and a "Couldn't load file" message is displayed. Link 2 - use the copy link button (people with existing access) https://MyTenantName.sharepoint.com/:v:/r/sites/MyIntranetSite/Video/CEO%20-%206%20Apr.mp4?csf=1&web=1&e=kKlG16 - mail app, opens onedrive with video player and streams the video - outlook app, within outlook opens stream type app. I then tries to download video. If video is big (500mb) the progress bar finishes and a "Couldn't load file" message is displayed. Link 3 - open in stream and copy URL from address bar https://MyTenantName.sharepoint.com/sites/MyIntranetSite/_layouts/15/stream.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FMyIntranetSite%2FVideo%2FCEO%20%2D%206%20Apr%2Emp4&referrer=OneUpFileViewer&referrerScenario=OpenInStream%2Eview - mail app, opens browser window, stream player - outloook app, opens browser window, stream player Work around The only option I've found that works for all recipients of the email which links to a video is: Tell / Teach my users to open the video in Stream, then copy the actual URL (don't use the share > copy link option). Then use that copied URL as the link in their email out to staff. Marc Mroz please help me / my users and others understand this one. To my mind in this case the "Copy link" option should just work for everyone no matter what device and or mail client they're using to begin their journey. Just like it does for other files. MarkVideois this similar to the issue you described earlier this month? Can't play Sharepoint or Stream video links on iPhone - Microsoft Community Hub
Unlisted public link for Stream on SharePoint
Now with Stream for SharePoint, is there a possibility to share the link to a video as an unlisted link, like how its done within Youtube? This has the advantage the public can't go into the Stream video repository (channel) to scroll through all videos, but only can use the link to a single video and just watch that video.
