Sharepoint online - displaying videos
- Mar 19, 2018
In what type of library are the videos being stored? When stored in an "Asset library" (instead of a normal Document Library) accessing the videos from there, they'll open in an HTML5-based video player.

Alternatively you can create pages anywhere in your SharePoint site and embed video's there using a Media WebPart (classic pages) or Embed or Video Web Part (modern site pages)
george_71239 Hi, do not move your stuff to stream, Stream is on its way out and being replaced by SharePoint and OneDrive, see the changes that have been made to Teams where all new recordings of meetings will no longer be saved to Stream but to SharePoint/OD.
O365 implemented lots of new streaming capabilties to the SharePoint platform so these files are streamed and not just FireHosed down to your users.
More changes are to come with Stream,
