How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
- Mar 10, 2020
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.

I don't understand, because external users that are invited can use all the chat features, so can't be difficult to also allow permission to view the embedded recording from same Teams meeting windo?
vincentacloudthe challenge is that the videos are stored in Stream which is effectively part of SharePoint online. If your organisation has restricted external file sharing from SharePoint then it is difficult to make videos of Teams meeting available without opening up the sharing of other files from SharePoint.

Danny_Golding I don't think it matters what permissions you have set on your SharePoint online, Stream won't share outside the org no matter what right now.

cfreeman2490 Yes, we have settings to allow anyone to share links externally on both Sharepoint and OneDrive, and it doesn't matter. It's an arbritary setting to restrict sharing or downloading of Stream videos. We were "upgraded" to Stream via Sharepoint and now it's made these video's virtually useless for Team recordings with people outside the organization.

so you are able to share Teams recorded videos by opening up SharePoint as you mention?- cfreeman2490Sep 10, 2020Copper ContributorNo you cannot. You have to download the video file and then figure out a way to share/send it outside of the Stream platform.

cfreeman2490 read this elsewhere, but if you trim your stream video, let it process again and download the file, it will be in mp4 format. did this and it works 🙂
