Recording a Video Using Microsoft Stream (On SharePoint)

Purpose

This article contains information on Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint) and instructions on recording a video using Stream (on SharePoint).

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. Those videos you recently opened, if any, will be readily available under ‘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 ‘Favourites’.

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.

Procedure

You can launch the Stream (on SharePoint) application from the app launcher if you already have a working online M365 account.

1. Login to the Microsoft Office Homepage and click on the App Launcher on the top left corner of the homepage.
2. Select Stream from the apps listed.

3. Once you have the Stream (on SharePoint) homepage open, click on the New Recording icon on the top left of the page.

4. Once you click on New Recording, a new tab will open up where you would be able to record yourself and your screen for the video.

• You can change any settings you want by selecting from options that allow you to add a backdrop, add effects and do much more!

5. Once you are done with your recording, you can click on the 'Next' Icon towards the bottom right of the screen or choose to retake the video by clicking Retake on the bottom left of the screen.

6. On clicking Next, you will be able to view the recording. Again, at this point, Stream lets you decide if you want to Retake the video or Publish it.

7. The video will get saved in the Recordings folder on OneDrive automatically. While the video is getting uploaded, you can also download it to your local machine.

8. Once the video is uploaded, you can share the video by clicking on the Share option on the top right of the page.
