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.

  • Videos you recently opened, if any, will be readily available under the Recently opened tab.
