Stream Storage
Should we expect the storage for any new videos added to Stream to go against our SPO tenant storage as it does for Office 365 Video? Do new channels that are created create site collections, and can...
@Bhowell for preview, the product is completely free and separate from Office 365 so no usage will impact your SharePoint tenant storage.
Also, it's not built on SharePoint so those constructs won't work with Microsoft Stream. If you are an Office subscriber you can continue to use Office 365 Video and at a future date once we have more details on our integration with Office 365, we can talk more to admin capabilities like management, etc.
I understand the fixed allocation of 500GB for the tenant and 0.5GB per licensed user. What I don't understand is the 500GB is in a pool which for all licensed users, and then each licensed user also have it's own 0.5GB? Or does the 0.5GB/@ licensed user will be added to the pool?
Can one user potentially eat up the entirely storage pool?
With the changes to SharePoint Storage announced from July 1 2018 to be 1 TB plus 10 GB per user license purchased (see post here https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint-Blog/Increase-in-SharePoint-Online-storage-allocation/ba-p/187617)
Will stream storage follow a similar revised storage model as of July 2018?
This would make recording MS Team meetings far more agreeable.

Sorry. No plans right now to change stream storage quota to match SharePoint.- I‘m already dreading the day teams recordings and the mobile app become available. The current quota differnces between SPO and Stream make no sense from a usage perspective. Shooting a 4K video on a modern smartphone will quickly fill that tiny .5GB per user, compared to many tiny documents that will never fill 10GB per user in most cases.
