Stream video on a SharePoint page

1. Go to the Microsoft Stream portal and find the video you want to highlight

2. Copy the URL / link to the video from the browser's address bar

3. Go to your SharePoint Online site and open the page or news article you want to add the video to

4. Edit the page

5. Add the Stream webpart on your page

6. Change the Source drop down to Single video

7. In the Video address field, paste in the URL / link to the Stream video

8. Optional: You can configure the video to start at a specific time code by typing a time into the Start at field. For example, if you want the video to start playing part way into the video, you can type "1:32" into the field and it will start 1 minute and 32 seconds into the video when the user clicks play.

9. Optional: If you anticipate changing your video's thumbnail after you post, note the following:

   • When you add a video to a SharePoint page, the video thumbnail is cached for faster loading for subsequent viewers.

   • If you change the video thumbnail in Stream, you'll need to delete and re-add the video in SharePoint to ensure the updated thumbnail gets stored—it won't update automatically.
