Trim your Stream videos
You can trim your videos—live events, Microsoft Teams meeting recordings, and uploaded videos—to cut right to the important content, right in Microsoft Stream.
Note: For live events, you'll have the option to trim as the event ends. If you choose not to trim at the end of the event, you can always return to the video and trim it later.
