This article is for people who use a screen reader program such as Windows Narrator, JAWS, or NVDA with Microsoft 365 products. This article is part of the Microsoft 365 screen reader support content set where you can find more accessibility information on our apps. For general help, visit Microsoft Support.
Use Microsoft Stream with your keyboard and a screen reader to add a video to a group or channel. We have tested it with Narrator, NVDA, and JAWS, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques.
Notes:
-
New Microsoft 365 features are released gradually to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so your app might not have these features yet. To learn how you can get new features faster, join the Office Insider program.
-
To learn more about screen readers, go to How screen readers work with Microsoft 365.
-
When you use Microsoft Stream, we recommend that you use Microsoft Edge as your web browser and Narrator as your screen reader.
If you use Chrome or Firefox as your web browser, we recommend that you use JAWS or NVDA as your screen reader.
Add a video to a group or channel
Use groups and channels to organize your videos in Microsoft Stream. A video can be in multiple groups or channels at the same time.
Notes:

If you are the owner of the video, you can add it to any groups or channels you can contribute to.
-
You can add companywide videos to any of your groups or channels, even if you are not the owner of the video.

In Microsoft Stream, browse to and open the video you want to add to a group or channel.

Press the Tab key repeatedly until you hear the group or channel you want, and press Enter to select it.
