Stream (on SharePoint)

With Stream (on SharePoint), you get enterprise video capabilities combined with what the Microsoft 365 file platform offers. Your videos are uploaded to the same locations where all your other files are stored: on a SharePoint site, in a Microsoft Teams channel, or in your OneDrive. This makes it easier to find and share your videos. As well, directly within these locations, there is the ability to:

• playback video

...

• comment on videos

...

• view and edit transcriptions and captions

...

• add chapters

...

• view basic analytics

...

The new Stream start page displays all the videos you have access to across all SharePoint sites, Microsoft Teams, and your OneDrive. It also shows your recommended, recently opened, frequently opened, and favourited videos. As well, you can now create screen or webcam recordings on the Stream start page.
