How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream

Hi,   How can I share video recording to external using Microsoft stream? I find myself as video owner cannot add more email addressed under Update Video Detail - > permissions.   Please advise....

    Patrick_lky Hi, this isn’t possible at the moment, if your asking can you share videos externally, this is on the roadmap, due towards the end of the year (Q4) though:

     

    Microsoft Stream: Public anonymous external video sharing

     

    Allow individual videos in Microsoft Stream to be marked for external public access allowing people to view the videos without a login. Stream admins will be able to control if this feature is enabled and who within the organization can make videos publicly available.

     

    Just to add, it’s not clear if the above feature will allow you to add external email address to provide access to particular guests only, you’d think that would be an option.  

     

    This link also provides a bit more context:

     

    This error occurs because Stream can't currently share to external users.

     

    To work around this issue, store the video in another location. For example, add the video to a SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business Library location that enables external sharing, and then share the video to the external users.
