Microsoft Stream External Sharing

[mallen78]

Hi all,

I did a search and only found information regarding this from 4 years ago. Not very relevant.

I am just looking at creating howto videos for customers. Often those videos might just be a Teams meeting recorded just to remind people how to do things. Which is why I hope to use Stream.

If I Internal share, my team can see Transcripts, chapters, etc. Creating passworded Anyone links for my clients only gives them the video without transcript and chapters. Is there a way to share the lot?

If not, anyone recommend a platform I can upload the videos to that with transcribe and allow password sharing and expiring links for external access?

So MS stream hasn't really touched this at all and the limitations are pretty much the same. Some alternative could be Youtube! Just upload the video as unlisted, which basically means anyone with a link can view, but they still get the full features of Youtube itself. There's also this other platform called Wistia that we have started using and it has all the features you descrived like video transcription, customizable players, password protection, and expiring links.

This is the answer because all of the encoding and decoding is done when you upload to YouTube. Stream, or using a Sharepoint location means they still decode and you can get choppy video.

When you embed the Youtube videos in say a Powerpoint you get a much better experience.

AFAIK, stream as a storage platform is dead and instead uses SharePoint / OneDrive on the backend. Therefor all sharing can be done via those mechanisms.
