  7. Once logged in, you would be required to enter the name of the Person/Teams group /Teams channel you want to share the video to.

    • Auto-suggestions would pop up based on your permission to post content on the groups/channels.

    • Note: If you do not have permission to post in a specific channel/group, you will not be able to share videos there. If you want to share the video to a particular channel, type in the channel name instead of the team’s name for auto-suggestions to pop up. 
       

  8. Along with adding a Recipient, you can also add any message about the link you are about to share.

    • Hit Share once both those fields are as per your requirement.

  9. You will get a confirmation window confirming that your link has been shared with the recipients.

  • You should be able to see the link to the video on the Teams chat.

Note: The recipients need to have access to the video for them to be able to view it by following the link. While they would have the link to the video shared, they would have to request permission from the owner to access it.
