Embedding video on SharePoint requires Silverlight
Hi Amit,
I'm on a Windows 7 device, using Google Chrome or IE.
When watching the video directly on https://web.microsoftstream.com, the HTML5 playback technology is used in Chrome, Flash in IE as you described. When embedding this movie in a SharePoint site "From Address", the browser requires a Sivlerlight plugin in IE. I believe now that this is because the video cannot be accessed, or that is the default playback technology of the Media web-part in SharePoint. When embedding the entire iframe in SharePoint, everything seems to work fine...
MicrosoftHi Jan Sabbe. Out of curiosity, what webpart are you using and how are you adding the Microsoft Stream video as a parameter?
Hi Amit Rajput, in a Content Editor webpart, I insert a video "from address", as the Office 365 Video doesn't show my stream video's, and there is no Stream integration. This is a page which is in the old UI, so not the modern UI.

Jan Sabbe the web part you are using isn't Stream or Office Video. It is strictly MP4 playback just for videos and isn't tied to either of our services. Please use the embedded webpart or the Stream webpart to add videos from Stream.
Is Stream Web Part only available on modern pages? I don't see it on classic pages. Is there a plan to add an 'MS Stream' icon to the ribbon in the 'Media' group (similar to the "Office 365 Video" icon) so users can easily add a 'Stream' video without having to open another window, navigate to Stream, find the video's embed code, come back to the other window and embed the code. That's a lot of clicks....
