Microsoft Stream latest updates have made it useless

This is a complaint about the recent changes to Microsoft Stream especially adding ClipChamp.  I can no longer use Microsoft Stream for work and now have to rely on OBS or some other method to get recordings and transcripts.

0)  You used to be able to find streams that you attended.  Now under the current changes it impossible to find those stream recordings.  Across multiple departments and inter-government agencies.   The changes have caused a loss of training.

1) The record button for teams is not working properly for guest outside my Microsoft networking (especially when I am the guest and its a training provide by Microsoft).  You used to be able to receive transcripts of trainings from Microsoft.  These were link to the stream recordings.  However, now those same transcripts give a one drive error and are no longer accessible.  

2) You used to be able to record a longer than 15 minutes, but then trim it down.  It use to allow you to ignore the time limit to split the file into smaller chunks.  Then you could delete those splits where the recording had issues.  Then you splice them back together as long as the end video remained under 15 minutes.   This is currently not possible with the current version of Microsoft Streams.  You are not allowed to have true control and editing power of what you record. 

 

I am sorry, but until this fixed. I will have to ask my department to consider using different meeting software to hold important meetings and record. 

P.S. In the future please carefully consider the business needs of your clients before making changes that break the usefulness of the software.
