Download original video as an mp4
Hi! I created some videos in my stream and need to download them as either a .mp4, .mov, or .avi type of file. Right now it's only downloading as a .webm file. How do I fix this?
Howdy!! quick solution would be to trim a part of that video like 2 seconds within microsoft stream and then try to download it again. This time it downloads in mp4 format.
- Great suggestion and easy fix!! How in the world did you stumble across that solution?
Skyfalls65 thank you for this suggestion but I tried it and didn't work for me. My colleague tried it as well and it didn't work for him either. Perhaps we're missing a step or Microsoft Streams doesn't allow you to do this anymore?
On side note, the fact that Microsoft doesn't make it easier to download into an MP4 file is senseless. Ha
Yup. That worked for me! (Now who would have guessed ...?)
- Skyfalls65, that is a brilliant solution. Thanks for point it out. 🙂
- It worked for me thanks. However, be cautious this solution has a flaw as well. I've had an original portrait aspect video and after trimming it expands to landscape with black bars and as a result, it experiences a severe drop of quality. Whew...
Erwinas try Duo Video Converter, which is a free download from the MS store to convert the file to MP4.
