Re: Embed SharePoint Video on External Sites
Yeah I just spent the day trying to figure this out as well. Just so annoying I can create anonymous links. I can create embed links. But I can't put the two together. Like one of the other comments, I was hoping to host some of our LMS videos in SharePoint since some of the content is externally facing. Now we'll have to stand up and pay for a separate streaming platform (Vimeo or something) which is just frustrating. This really needs to be a feature.7.4KViews2likes0CommentsRe: Issues with Microsoft Stream Embedded Videos
Sorry this a bit old. Have you setup SSO between Azure AD and Articulate? Classic Stream doesn't allow external access so I would expect embedded videos won't play in 3rd party / external systems unless there is a handshaking happening between the two systems for user authentication. And this would be the same case if using Stream on SharePoint, unless you've allowed sharing files via anonymous anyone links.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Yeah you can't do it like that actually. You need to actually move any existing videos out of Stream Classic (so download them if you no longer have the originals) and then upload them either in OneDrive or SharePoint. I'd forget about even using the new Stream UI to upload videos at the moment as it adds no benefit and only confuses where the videos get actually stored. Then share the videos from OneDrive/SharePoint. Basically all the new Stream is now is just some added video features/enhancements to videos stored in OneDrive/SharePoint. But in short you need to migrate anything existing on the old Stream and just start using OneDrive/SharePoint going forwards. They have a migration tool available to assist with this as well if you have a lot to move over.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Rmellor93 With the new Stream on SharePoint yes. Since it's just now leveraging OneDrive (personal videos) or SharePoint (group videos) to store the files. So you'd shared externally just as you would any other files with those services. But if still using the older Stream "Classic" then no and it won't ever since its basically end of life now.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
So when MS Teams records meetings these are saved to the user's own OneDrive (whoever clicks the record button, yes that's always seemed odd to me and I wish it defaulted to the meeting organizer, but its whoever actually clicks the button). Then the file is set to shared with all meeting participants and link send to the meeting chat. If you copy and share that link it will only work for people with permission already. To then share with other people, its just like sharing anything from OneDrive. The person that owns that file needs to go into their OneDrive, to to "Recordings" find that recording open, and click "Share" to generate a new sharing link. That changes though if the meeting is associated to a Teams group channel, then it saves to the group files (SharePoint), which is better. As then anyone in the group can open and use the "Share" function to add permisons and generate sharing links for other people.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Yeah I know, I'm not affiliated with MS in any way so just sharing what I know / have read. But how it goes with MS. Something gets hyped up, half rolled out, then eventually retired and something else put in its place. In this case though I'm happy to see a consolidated into SharePoint as I didn't really like having a whole separate platform for video hosting that users seemed to never really pay much attention to. So if we can get the Stream feature into SharePoint, and if MS does it right (yeah asking a lot there) then could end up being the best of both platforms. And as Marc with MS below replied they do have migration tools available for moving content over. And I've been telling users (I'm a trainer) to just stop using Stream and start thinking about how you'd host your videos in SharePoint. At the moment I'll still take the better sharing and layout options in SharePoint over the missing features in Stream.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Just an update for anyone following this. This functionality won't be coming to Stream as Stream (classic) is being now phased out. With Stream functionality being slowly migrated over to SharePoint. They are now calling the old Steam "Classic" and the new one "Stream on SharePoint". MS Teams meetings already now save to OneDrive/SharePoint instead of Stream (classic). Which then allows for sharing with external users. I haven't seen the new Stream on SharePoint roll out to any environments I have access to so not really sure how it looks/functions, but my guess is there is a new SharePoint Stream site template and video web part features. In the meantime, I'd recommend just moving away from Stream (classic) and hosting your videos in a SharePoint site, at least anything that needs to be shared externally. While you wait for the new Stream to fully roll out. More info below: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/streamnew/new-streamRe: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream

Doug Punchak I think this already is the "new" Stream. I imagine personal recordings will continue to save to OneDrive and group based recordings to SharePoint. What I'm imagining is that'll start to just bring some of the Stream features over into the OneDrive/SPO video player. The big missing piece will be the way Stream can organize and layout videos. I'm going to guess they'll introduce a SharePoint template specific to videos along with the Stream web part they've been talking about to embed videos into pages.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
StephanSchaller Yeah not being able to block OneDrive video downloads has been a long standing limitation and really an issue for moving from Stream to OneDrive. Really wish MS had fixed that before this change. However I do know they plan to fix that soon and its already noted in their kb article here: Block downloads for view-only files in SharePoint and OneDrive - OneDrive (work or school) (microsoft.com). So hopefully we get that soon.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Patrick_lky Looks like we're finally getting this feature! Stream is starting to migrate over to OneDrive and SharePoint. It appears to be happening in phases, with Teams meeting recordings being one of the first things to move. Seems you can enable this starting now from the admin portal, and then you can finally share your recordings with anyone. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/tmr-meeting-recording-change https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/streamnew/new-streamRe: Invite who you want in group calendars
Ethan Li There appears to be a bug for us still with this feature in Outlook Desktop (for Windows). The group is still being added and sent invites even when its just an Appointment. Seems to work ok from OWA, but our users are not used to working in OWA. I provide training for the WHO on Microsoft products, so I'd love to be able to give our users the correct, easy, bug free way to do this. Could we troubleshoot?2.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Create a meeting in a 365-Group calendar without inviting the whole team? Question and critic!
Ethan Li The issue I'm having and I see others here are as well, is that you select the Appointment option when creating the meeting, but it seems to basically convert to a Meeting and invite the whole group after you click "Save and Close". In fact I can tell its been converted to a Meeting as when I reopen the event, "Save and Close" has now been changed to "Send". It doesn't happen all the time, seems 50% of the time, and only seems to happen when using Outlook Desktop. So my guess is there is some bug in how Outlook Desktop creates Appointments in Groups. So I think that needs to be investigated further. Yes workaround seems to instruct group members to use OWA, but I've already had to do a lot of hand-holding to get our Group members trained on how to create events in this Group calendar from Outlook. I'm not really looking forward to having to give them a whole new set of instructions because MS can't fix this obvious bug.9.7KViews0likes0CommentsRe: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
paulpaxtechnologycom sangd Yeah its not an ideal solution but it works. But you are bypassing Stream entirely then and having to store these videos full size in OneDrive. I couldn't see recommending this solution on any sort of large scale, but for a one-off it does the job. What I've had to do is just make a YouTube channel and we post our stuff there. Again not ideal but at least its a proper streaming service. Stream, for the name, has a long way to go to be a functional streaming service missing something as basic as guest access. What is extra annoying is with the new Teams meetings "broadcast" feature, guests are viewing the feed via Stream. Thus they've made guest access work with Stream for that service. So no idea why we are still waiting for it on normal Stream video permissions. Just Microsoft being Microsoft I suppose 😕 Always love to give us reasons to use 3rd party services.Re: How to share video recording to external using Microsoft stream
Patrick_lky Yeah we really need this feature and its pretty silly that we don't. I get asked about this weekly from users and its crazy to people you can record a meeting in Teams but the guest users on the meeting can't view the recording. Just stupid.
