Microsoft Stream on SharePoint is our platform for storing and editing your non-curriculum based video files. Stream videos can be embedded for viewing and sharing across Microsoft 365 apps.
IMPORTANT: Microsoft Stream Classic Replacement April 2024
Microsoft will replace Stream Classic with Stream on SharePoint by April 2024. All Teams meeting recordings already save to SharePoint (for channel meetings) or OneDrive for 1:1 / Group meetings. All transcript edit features are now porting to Stream on SharePoint so we recommend that you familiarise yourself with it now, do not upload video content to Stream Classic. Videos can now be embedded across Office 365 apps for viewing/sharing and for editing you can navigate to Stream on SharePoint from the office 365 web portal or directly at: https://stream.office.com/
