Trim feature removed in new Stream?
Has the trim feature been removed in both the new (SharePoint) Stream and tradtional Stream interface? I discovered this today when attempting to trim a video recorded from a Teams meeting. The trim feature was available recently when video recordings of Teams meetings were accessed in OneDrive.

Share Stream video with external users
Is it possible to share a video on stream with external clients (not on office 365)? Open public access is not an option for us as video's need to be protected from public viewing so authentication for non office 365 users is required.

External Sharing with Stream or Video
I teach kindergarten students and need the ability to give them easy access to videos I've prepared. I usually do this by creating a QR code for them to scan, but for this to work I need the ability to create a link that is "anyone with link can view". Please allow external guests to view video. We are looking for a way to compile vidoe resources to share accross our district but we need the ability to give our youngest learners and thier families easy access...Is this coming soon?

Reporting in Stream
Do you have on the roadmap for Stream, the ability to run reporting on statistics etc. ie. on video view numbers, which users who are viewing the videos, how long they are watching for etc etc ? This functionality would be really useful to help our business drive adoption and manage usage.

Powershell Script to list ALL videos in your 365 Stream environment
I hope this is useful to everyone. My goal was to get a list of all videos in my stream so that I could contact each video creator about the changes that are coming to stream. Also so I could figure out how much work there was to do in moving, and how much video is created and not used. My original solution (posted here 7 Oct 2020) I've retired, as thanks to Twan van Beers code here https://neroblanco.co.uk/2022/02/get-list-of-videos-from-microsoft-stream/ I've been able to build a single ps1 script that does all I need. I'll leave the the original code at the bottom of this post. Take a look a the comments I've put into the code for how to use this script. I found that my original script gave me information about the videos but it was hard to use AND didn't tell me which videos were in which channels. This new version of Twan van Beers script gives me both. Save the new code Oct 2022 as a PowerShell script e.g. get-stream-video-info.ps1 Then open a powershell screen, navigate to the folder get-stream-video-info.ps1 is in. To run it enter .\get-stream-video-info.ps1 "C:\Temp\streamanalysis\stream7Oct22-getnbstreamvideoinfo.csv" Follow the on screen prompts. >>> New Code Oct 2022 <<< using namespace System.Management.Automation.Host [CmdletBinding()] param ( [parameter(Position=0,Mandatory=$False)] [string]$OutputCsvFileName, [parameter(Position=1,Mandatory=$False)] [switch]$OpenFileWhenComplete = $False ) # ---------------------------------------- # How to use <#-- Open a powershell window then type in the following and click enter .\get-stream-video-info.ps1 "C:\Temp\streamanalysis\stream7Oct22-getnbstreamvideoinfo.csv" You'll then be prompted for 3 options [V] Videos [C] ChannelVideos [A] All [?] Help (default is "V"): V - videos, which will get a list of all the videos in your STREAM environment. NOTE you may need to alter the variables in the code if you have more than 1000s of videos C - ChannelVideos, will get a list of all the videos and the channels they are in. NOTE this returns a filtered view of all the videos associated with a channel A - All, returns both the Videos and the ChannelVideos. You'll then be prompted for a user to login to the STREAM portal with, this is so the script can get a security token to do it's work with. Choose/use an account with full access to STREAM. If you used a CSV file path after the script name, then this powershell script will export one or two CSV files based on the option chosen <your folder path, your filename>-videos<your file ending> and or <your folder path, your filename>-channelVideos<your file ending> If you don't want to export file names, this powershell creates objects you can use in other ways V or A - will create an object $ExtractData, which is a list of every video and key properties for each video. C or A - wil create an object $videosPerChannel, which lists key information about each video AND the channel they are part of. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- original source my script https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-classic/powershell-script-to-list-all-videos-in-your-365-stream/m-p/1752149 which inspired Twan van Beers to write https://neroblanco.co.uk/2022/02/get-list-of-videos-from-microsoft-stream/ I've then taken Twan's script and modified it to do what I require in my environment. Namely - get the video information AND the channels they are part of. For my 1000 or so videos and 35 channels, it takes about 1 min to run using the All option. This meant I was able to setup an intranet video library with a channel metadata column, folders per channel (so i could give edit rights to channel owners, without opening up the entire library or having to use multiple libraries), and eventually download the videos, then upload them into the library using ShareGate to reinstate some of the key metadata, i.e. created date, person who created them etc --#> #

See the script above for a better solution. That said this solution relies on you knowing a bit about PowerShell, being a Stream Admin and being happy to manually save some files (I couldn't figure out how to do pass through windows authentication for the script) so you have to manually save each paged JSON file of 100 videos. It took me about 20minutes to export information about 591 videos (about 3 hours to make the script). To use the script update each variable marked with #<<<< Update this value in a normal (not admin) powershell window run the script (i copy and paste logical parts into the powershell window) you will be given several urls, to visit and save the JSON files from once you have the JSON files the final part of the script reads those, and exports a CSV file with a row per video in STREAM NOTE : as an admin you see all videos, so before you share the CSV with others be aware that there may be sensitive information in it that most users can't see due to STREAM's in built security. I don't have much time, hence I made this script so please don't expect quick answers to any questions. This script is rough, use it if it helps, but ... be professional and check it before you use it. ##>> Update 5 Aug 2021 <<## Thanks to everyone who has commented, I've updated the code below with your suggestions You still have to manually save the JSON browser tabs that show up as JSON files into a folder, but other than that I hope it is now easier for you to use 🙂 #reference https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-stream-forum/powershell-script-to-audit-and-export-channel-content-details-of/m-p/354832 # goal of this script #- get list of all videos in stream for analysis #- it takes about 20 minutes to do this for 500 stream videos. #First # find out what your api source is # go to the following URL in chrome as an admin of Stream https://web.microsoftstream.com/browse # using Developer tools look at the "console" search for .api.microsoftstream to find out what is between https:// and .api.microsoftstream in my case https://aase-1.api.microsoftstream.com/api/ [string]$rootAPIlocation = "aase-1" #<<<< Update this value to the one you find in the console view #[string]$rootAPIlocation = "uswe-1" # use this for Western US #[string]$rootAPIlocation = "euno-1" # use this for the Europe North region #enter where you on your computer you want the files to go [string]$PowerShellScriptFolder = "C:\Temp\streamanalysis" #<<<< Update this value #json files will be saved into "VideosJSON" folder [string]$streamJSONfolder = Join-Path -Path $PowerShellScriptFolder -ChildPath "VideosJSON" #<<<< Update this value if you want a different folder name #>>> REMOVES all exiisting JSON files <<<< #remove all JSON items in this folder Remove-Item -path $streamJSONfolder\* -include *.json -Force -Recurse #guess approx number of videos you think you have divide by 100 e.g. 9 = 900 videos [int]$Loopnumber = 9 #<<<< Update this value #put in your stream portal url [string]$StreamPortal = "https://web.microsoftstream.com/?NoSignUpCheck=1" #put in the url where you see all videos from in stream [string]$StreamPortalVideoRoot = "https://web.microsoftstream.com/browse/" #$StreamPortalChannelRootForFindingVideos [string]$StreamPortalVideoViewRoot= "https://web.microsoftstream.com/video/" # for watching a video #this builds from the info you've put in a URL which will give back the JSON info about all your videos.

Stream Usage Policy Examples
We switched over from Office 365 to Stream today and I thought I'd share the wording on the usage policy that our users click through on their first upload. Bear in mind it doesn't touch on heavy stuff like retention requirements, and as a best practice it sends users to our company policy center for official heavyweight stuff. It's very simple, and I kept the simple formatting as much as I could, but the hyperlinks are not all here because of course, not publicly available! ...Feedback is welcome, and by all means, share your own version. Do This Consider your audience (global, professional, time-constrained, and future viewers as well as now) Post short videos (viewers may stay through the end to thank you) Respect the hosts (if you're not sure your video is suitable for the group or channel… ask first) Protect your brand (nothing is anonymous; what will this content say about you?) Keep private content private (if you don't know how to manage privacy in Stream… learn here) Honor Cargill's policies (find electronic communications, anti-harassment, and other policies here) Make the most of Stream's features (learn here) Avoid This Violating copyright (if you or Cargill don't own the rights, don't post the content, period) Solicitation (imagine dozens of videos with Kickstarter and GoFundMe pitches… yeah, we can't either) Profanity (for goodness' sake) Oversharing (Stream is not a personal vlog; Cargill owns all uploaded content) Ready – Fire – Aim (we're here to help you!)

Problems with Stream on Sharepoint
Ok, so maybe I'm missing something, but I am already not in love with the new Stream on Sharepoint. It has literally taken everything away that we liked about Stream classic. Maybe I'm missing some of these features and can be enlightened on an easier way to find them, but if they are that hard to find, they aren't accessible. 1. When you click upload, you do not get the box to add all options at once- title, description, etc. You have to wait until after it uploads, then go to the video, and do it there. 2. There is no file upload confirmation. You get a box that says "preparing to upload" or "uploading file" then it just disappears. It doesn't go to a page where you can see the video, and it doesn't show up in the list right away, and when it does, you have to search for it. I didn't realize it was uploading and therefore put the same video in 3 times, which brings me to the next problem. 3 . You can't delete videos from sharepoint. You have to click the three dots, select Open, then open file location, then you have to find the file again, and then you can delete it, and the file doesn't have the new name you gave it in Sharepoint. Why go through so many hoops just to delete a video?? 4. There is no trim! While any significant editing can be done in a video editing software, the ability to just trim off the dead silence or wait time in the beginning or end was a great and easy feature. 5. There is no organization! Again- within Stream on Sharepoint itself, there is no way to create folders, channels, anything. I just see ALL the videos. Mine and anyone else's. The filter options are limited, and don't help much. I have hundreds of videos. I should be able to organize them. Again, I would have to LEAVE Stream, go to another area of Microsoft, Teams, etc and THEN create a folder, group, etc, and then FIND the videos in the long list of files to add them. It's insanity. At the end of the day, Stream on Sharepoint is a headache and a hassle and being forced to move to it (eventually) is extremely frustrating.

Please keep Office Mix if you cannot improve Stream
I have migrated all of my mixes to Stream, and although it's worded as if the move from Mix to Stream is an upgrade or improvement, we Mix users loose a ton of functionality. Here are some examples, 1. The table of contents feature when uploading a Powerpoint to Mix is very convenient for people to find a section of a lesson. I don't know if it's possible to create this in Stream. Stream doesn't even give you the "youtube" thumbnail when you drag across the timeline bar at the bottom of the video. 2. The analytics in MIX allowed me to see how long a user spends on each slide of a ppt, and how long they watched the lesson. I don't see this function within Stream. I cannot tell who has logged in and watched my stream videos. As an educator, I need to know if my students watched the lecture! 3. Uploading to Mix was MUCH faster than having my PC make a video, then uploading to Stream. This process seems to take forever and the file sizes are huge. 4. Small changes in a PPT, then uploading an "existing mix" was very simple and fast process within Office Mix. Now, when updating a PPT, you have to reconvert the lesson into a video. I have a good/powerful PC and a 1 hour lecture takes a long time . . . this process was MUCH faster using Mix. 5. The download link was nice in Mix, so I could download the original presentation off of the Mix site if needed. I don't know if it's possible to keep the MIX features and functions as an option within Stream so users can chose to either stream a video or play a PPT mix. I do, however, appreciate the ability to do any of this within Office365 and I understand that there are other factors that must play a role in eliminating Mix.

Replace a video when it has been updated
Our videos are almost always a work in progress so it is essential that I can replace the video on Stream with the latest version without disrupting the embedded versions. Can this be done?

Stream should add a feature that allows to add video from OneDrive directly to Stream.
I've already uploaded all my video clips on my OneDrive. Now if I want them on Stream I have to re-upload them all. That doesn't seem to be a good choice. Why can't Stream have a button to get videos directly from Onedrive?

Stream Uservoice?
Is there going to be a Stream Uservoice page added or will the Office 365 Video be rebranded? There are some great features that are already upvoated but not integrated (like Playlists) that I would hate to seee lost in the "rebranding" since they are technically differnt products.

Stream Channel: Organize/Categorize Videos
On a channel homepage, I need the ability to create video categories, as defined by me, the channel owner - possible? Alternatively, the ability to sort by Name would be an acceptable work-around.

See who viewed my video in Microsoft Stream.
I have uploaded a video to MS Stream. Currently I can see the number of people who viewed the video. But I want to know if there is a way to know who all exactly viewed the video.

New Stream Webpart - Disappointing
The new Stream Webpart has just come through to our tenant and started to set it up to see how it actually works. Quite disappointing so far, and not fit for purpose in our video architecture. I was hoping for something similar to the Highlighted Content Webpart where you have a lot of sources, filtering and sorting options, etc. Would have liked to see Microsoft use this as a base, and retrofit the ability to play videos inline, additional display options such as Gallery (which they have) and Playlist (which is apparently coming soon). As part of the migration from Stream (Classic) to Stream (on SharePoint) we are looking to upload all our videos to Document Libraries without folders and use metadata for Channels, Categories, etc. This way we can associate our videos to multiple Channels which we wouldn't be able to do with folders. Also, a flat architecture is a much better option for effective filtering, searching, etc. However, the only source options available where we could limit what videos are displayed are using Folder. So, for us, we can't use the new Stream Webpart at all for displaying our videos by Channel, Category, etc. You also can't select multiple sites or sites associated to a hub to return videos from. Only from this site, or a single site. Highlighted Content Webpart allows you to select multiple sites which again is something we need. Stream Webpart Videos on this site (brings back all videos without any filtering options) Folder (no filtering options) Single video Highlighted Content Webpart (a lot of filtering options regardless of what source you select) All sites in the hub This site A document library on this site This site collection The page library on this site (wouldn't apply to videos) Select sites All sites Also, when selecting Folder or Single video and you want to get from another site, it only shows recent or favorited sites (and not all of them) with no ability to search for and select a specific site. This is a real painful experience where you have to go out to the site you want to select first a few times and hope it shows up for you to select. This is also noted in the following post: New Stream Web Part - Source > Folder > From Sites > Only shows recent shared libraries - Microsoft Community Hub The new Stream Webpart also currently has very limited Sorting options available. Stream Webpart Recently created Recently edited Author Highlighted Content Webpart Most recent Most viewed Trending Managed property ascending Managed property descending Looks like we're stuck with File and Media Webpart for single videos, and Highlighted Content Webpart for multiple videos for the foreseeable future. Really hoping to see the new Stream Webpart get some much-needed improvements over the next few months!! Microsoft, any plans for implementing any of these missing features?

Trimming a Teams Recording just got a whole lot harder
When will a simple and efficient Teams meeting recording trim be reenabled? Moving Teams recordings to SharePoint/OneDrive without continuing to provide an editing capability was a bad idea. I tried the suggested method of downloading and trimming with MS Photos. This both removed the meeting header page and resulted in a file twice the size of the original. Trimming with Stream was a great feature. It was quick, as all the workflow remained online and integrated with Teams. This new process is inferior, elongated, and adds needless large-file data transmission stress to the local network and WAN.

Automatically add Teams meeting recordings to a Stream Channel
I have a regularly scheduled Teams meeting that we record for compliance. Teams automatically saves the recording into Stream and I manually add the video to a channel we use to collect all of these meetings. My current workflow is following the end of the meeting to wait to receive the notification email that the recording is available and then I click the link and publish it to the channel. Is there or could there be a way to automatically publish the recording to a channel?
