Stream integration on Teams enables convenient features such as sharing and watching your Stream videos and Teams meeting recordings within the Teams app.
The Stream app is available across multiple Teams touchpoints, including Stream app on Teams left rail, Stream on Teams message extension, and the Stream Tab on Chats/Channels. Each of these is described here.
Stream app on the Teams left rail
Using this feature, you can easily access the videos in your watchlist. The Stream app will open within Teams so you can see your content without going out of context.

In the left rail of your Teams app, locate and select the three dots
-
In the displayed set of apps, select Stream.
-
Optionally pin the Stream app on the side panel for more convenient access in the future.
