Microsoft Stream is a video service that can help people in your organization to upload, view, and share videos securely. You can share recordings of meetings, presentations, training sessions, or other videos that aid your team's collaboration. Microsoft Stream also makes it easy to share comments on a video, automatically generate captions and transcripts, tag timecodes in comments and descriptions, and discuss the content with colleagues.
Where to store videos for your own use vs. those for a wider audience
In many cases, videos you do not plan on sharing with a broader audience can be stored in your OneDrive or in a SharePoint in Microsoft 365 document library—including videos that have a very limited audience or are work in progress. However, when videos need to be shared with a broader audience within your organization, we recommend that you use Microsoft Stream. Once uploaded to Stream, you can use the Stream SharePoint web part to embed videos across Microsoft 365 such as, in SharePoint News articles and PowerPoint presentations.
How to upload videos to Stream
Start by going to stream.microsoft.com and signing in with the email your organization gave you. Then, follow the instructions based on the page you’re uploading from.
