Recording a Video Using Microsoft Stream (On SharePoint)

Context

What Is Stream (On SharePoint)?

• Stream (on SharePoint) is an intelligent enterprise video experience that is part of Microsoft 365. It empowers you to record, upload, discover, share, and manage video just as you would any other file. Video is like any other document. It seamlessly integrates with apps across Microsoft 365, so you get the same experience no matter where you add or engage with video content.

Major Updates in Microsoft Stream (On SharePoint)

With the new Microsoft Stream, any videos saved on your OneDrive or SharePoint would be visible on the Stream (On SharePoint) homepage. You can also search for videos if you know with what name they are saved on your OneDrive/SharePoint.

• You will be able to see all videos i.e., all the videos saved by and shared with you by clicking on the All icon.
• Videos you recently opened, if any, will be readily available under the Recently opened tab.
• Only the videos shared with you would be visible under the Shared icon. This means that the videos under Shared will not be visible in your OneDrive unless you download and save it there.
• Any video marked as your favourites will be visible under Favorites.

Note: If you are facing issues locating a certain video on the Stream (on SharePoint) homepage, open the video once from OneDrive (web version). Once you open it, you should be able to see the video on the homepage.
