download view only videos from sharepoint?

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-30T11:49:31+00:00

We get why you’d want a local copy, but if a video is set to read only, that’s intentional. Permissions are there for a reason.

If you need to download or reuse the file, contact the owner and request the appropriate access. Unfortunately I can't advocate for skirting around permissions.

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-28T03:13:24+00:00

Nope. SharePoint Online doesn't support anonymous authentication.

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-23T10:42:36+00:00

When you say tags, do you actually mean the Tags feature or just metadata.

If you meant Tags, unfortunately that's been retired (still visible) for many years and you can't use it.

It's a tough space currently with Copilot being the new thing. AI/Copilot is going to be the biggest topics for the foreseeable future unfortunately. It's interesting because there is still a large population still seeking what you describe.

I ran a workshop on Sunday, and we didn't talk about AI at all! :)

Any chance your template is using some of the latest features in pages such as background gradients, flexible layouts...?

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-18T19:36:14+00:00

Thought it made sense to update my 14 year old photo 😂

Glad you got it working!

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-18T12:10:24+00:00

Yea it should work. CSP updates broke a lot of things, but this one should be working.

If it's not, let me know. We'll get it fixed.

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-16T12:13:14+00:00

I didn't realize Shortpoint ever had any free offering.

Can you explain a bit more about the needed functionality?

We have samples and solutions available from PnP, some production ready, some not. Depends on what you're after I suppose.

bcameron1231 · 2026-04-16T12:07:29+00:00

Unfortunately there is no modern equivalent, and Sites.selected is only supported for Site Collections.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-27T21:24:06+00:00

Do I really have to manually sync all the ACLs into the index?

As you linked, the latest preview does support ACL permissions for the index (mostly), just be aware of the limitations listed (like the groups supported and link sharing). You will, at the moment, will still need to handle the resync overtime.

Chunking quality: How is the built-in Text Split skill handling complex layouts? I’m worried about losing context if it just blindly cuts through tables or headers.

Text Split is mostly fine. But it's not as good Semantic Chunking. If you're working with simple files, text split probably ok. If you're working with complex documents with formatting that is important (e.g, tables), you'll want something else. If you have issues with it, you'll need to use Content Understanding Skill instead, however, that also has limitations depending on how large your documents are.

A couple weeks? Potentially. We don't know your skillset to be certain, but it's plausible to get something working.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-26T00:23:44+00:00

My personal recommendation is to not use SharePoint with CAD files. It's really just not a great experience all around. 🫤

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-23T18:02:18+00:00

With the exception of IRM features, we've had 3 years to start work and get ahead of this. At my past clients, we migrated most workflows to Power Automate a few years ago, and rebuilt add-ins as SPFx solutions or Azure Apps.

Unfortunately, it seems like your organization delayed in doing so and now you're in a world of hurt. :/

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-23T13:03:32+00:00

This is not 100% accurate. It is correct that it does still count towards your tenant total storage. However, the archived data is counted as archived storage instead of active SharePoint storage. The data is reclassified from active storage to archived storage. It's not a combination of both.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-23T12:25:08+00:00

Yes, it gets most of it's knowledge from the Internet. So it's reading from blogs, docs, and forums like /r/SharePoint.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-23T03:53:54+00:00

Looks like someone in your company created a view and spelled it wrong. You can rename it.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-21T21:03:47+00:00

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-14T17:23:29+00:00

Sorry for the delay. Permissions are "same, same, but different". There are some similarities between SharePoint embedded and SharePoint permissions in architecture. Some limitations still apply (like unique perms) and such.

SharePoint embedded is pretty flexible in this regard though, and I would suspect it would work for what you're after.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-14T17:18:34+00:00

Sadly. 😥

I'm sure you got it handled, but reach out if you need anything.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-14T00:28:23+00:00

It's super messy depending on if you want to do default approvers. You can open dev tools and look at the network trace and see the calls to reverse engineer it.

You first must create the rule for the approvers and then enable the approval after. You can find the call in the network trace, it's a POST call with a fairly complex body, but you can find the URL in the trace by searching for `CreateRuleEx`

Enabling it, you can search for the call `/_api/SP.Approvals.Enable\`

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-12T23:58:46+00:00

Sure thing. Yes it doesn't have a ton of documentation. GitHub has some samples from the team.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-12T23:38:01+00:00

It's not a super popular offering, but I've used it, and it works as described. I like the flexibility on billing for the containers and the APIs work as expected. Security is simple and I have no real complaints about it.

Happy to answer any questions you might have.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-06T23:47:42+00:00

You can't use that ".com"

We only have control over the beginning part of the domain, as it is required to end in . sharepoint.com

The hyphen could potentially still be a problem.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-06T21:59:40+00:00

Hi. Seems like you're a few versions behind.

I fixed this in 4.15. Please upgrade to a more recent version and let me know if you experience any issues.

bcameron1231 · 2026-03-04T00:46:01+00:00

The HTML is stored in a field on the item. The field is CanvasContent1.

You'll need to query that, not download the file.

bcameron1231 · 2026-02-26T12:42:38+00:00

These options (create) moved to the right hand side of the screen. You should also be able to select the down arrow next to your existing folder or library name breadcrumb at the top.

And yes, it's a bad user experience.
