So I've uploaded a video on Stream and decided to embedd the video within a Word document. I've made sure the setting "Allow everyone in your company to view this video" is turned on within permissions for the video. And under Viewers I have myself, Companywide channels and the channel I've created to upload the video. The word document I've embedded the video in will be used as a tutorial / step-by-step guide. Once I upload it to our company server where everyone can access it if needed, I want our users to be able to watch the video without much trouble. In this case, the prompt to "sign in or sign up" after clicking on the video is what I'm trying to remove. Most of our users will not know their email passwords, so this could cause issues. Is this possible?

I now have this exat same issue for an embedded video on our sharepoint homepage. In one tab i'm signed in to stream in the other i have our intranet page. the embedded video still asks me to sign in and to make it worse after i click sign in a dialog pops up and nothing happens.

Dustin_Halvorson Tiger Boshomane Hi guys, we apologize that this behavior persists. A number of people have added onto this thread about a number of different embed scenarios but my understanding is that your issues stem from being logged into a sharepoint page but not being able to automatically view your videos. This could happen for one of two reasons: 1) You're signed into sharepoint and federated through a system like ADFS that authenticates a user through an accelerated path that doesn't necessarily show that there's an active AAD session existing and as such Stream prompts a manual login because the login flow uses that as a fallback. if this is the case let me know and we can walk you through how to use a domain hint (pointing to the endpoint you use to authenticate with) to respect the auto-acceleration flow and hopefully improve this behavior. OR 2) your admin has set conditional access policies on certain resources at your company that require a condition like Multi-factor authentication. Since Stream utilizes MS Graph to pull the right data in to keep your permissions and videos up to date, we have to abide by that conditional access policy. SharePoint may have a separate policy that doesn't require the same authentication so you may be signed in at a lower level (maybe just user name and credentials) which is NOT enough for Stream. As such, Stream prompts you to "step-up" sign in with the correct level of authentication. If this is the case, we are working with the Graph team to make improvements to this user experience and relieve as much of the user's friction as possible. There are some experiments in the works but this is a large systematic change that needs to be handled delicately in order to not potentially negatively impact any other scenarios. We also understand that the sign in prompt can be confusing and are working towards having a more meaningful message displayed. if you have any more questions or are looking to stay in the loop with these changes more feel free to DM me directly OR you can send me an email (saraje@microsoft.com)

We are seeing the same experience no matter where the link is shared. If we click 'share' on a video, and put the link in Sharepoint, email message, web page, etc....it auto redirects to the 'start' screen (https://stream.microsoft.com/en-us/) . Users have to click sign-in on the top right hand side, and then it works. For all other O365 products (Planner, OneNote, Teams, Forms, etc.) if you share a link, it auto logs in, and users never have to click 'sign-in' We are using ADFS internally.

Sorry for the late reply, unfortunately this still does't work for most people in our organization. This is really just disappointing since Microsoft Video worked with absolutely no issues. Not sure if this will help but it seems like the process gets stuck while the popup window displays the following URL "https://web.micosoftstream.com?noSignupCheck=1" from there nothing happens as usual

Hey Marc, thanks for the speedy reply. I was actually going to say that we seem to have sorted it out by adding the URL to trusted sites, we'll be ding some additional testing today but from the few users we've tested with, it seems to work. Still doesn't sign them in automatically but at least they can do it manually

Is there any progress in sorting this issue out? I've tested again today and and the issue still persists on IE

  Tiger Boshomane - I just tested on IE11 + Win 10 against a Stream embed into a SharePoint page and the auth flow is working for me in a test tenant in production. I sent you a private message a bit ago, we can talk about this topic too.

Embedding the video inside of Word works if you are signed in - it will automatically pick up your credentials. Unforuately, if the user is not signed into Word, their credentials are not known and they will not be able to watch the video. This is for security purposes you cannot bypass this as you wouldn't want people to who shouldn't have access to watch videos

  Amit,
  
  The word document will be viewed by our company employees, who are already signed into their offce365 accounts for any/all Office software, including Word. The issue still persists.

    Hi Tiger Boshomane can you tell us what browser you are using and what platform? If you could go to Stream, and in the top right corner, please select "About Microsoft Stream" under the help ("?") and send to Saili Raje as a DM to take a look here.
