Workaround the Organization-wide channel creation restriction
So if the admin turns off the ability to create org wide channels.. It seems, users are still able to make a channel and base it off a public group and voila, org wide channel. Am I missing something?
How would one prevent ANY channel creation whether its org wide or group based? Trying to tightly curate the content in the Stream portal.
Thanks.

Then you need to restrict who can create Office 365 groups. Perhaps setup an approval process for this?serenity808
kayakgeek yea thats what I was afraid of..
- As I understand the purpose of companywide channels and channels in a public group are different. There is a good overview in https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/groups-channels-organization. If you would like to control content in specific official channels the way to do it is scenario 1 "Companywide top down sharing (few contributors, everyone can view)" which is implemeted as channels in a public group with the setting "Allow all members to contribute" turned Off. Then only owners in the group can add videos to the channels.
- Right.. I think our issue is the fact that anyone in the org can make a channel or a group.. that doesnt mean they can upload, but they can clutter the overall feel of the portal.
