If you have videos stored in Stream Classic, you need to move any videos you want to keep before August 29 to make sure you have uninterrupted access to your videos.
When it comes to moving your videos, you have two options: download your videos manually or requesting a video migration. The option you choose will be determined by factors such as the number of videos you have and the number of videos you want to keep. For an overview of your options, see Decide where your Stream Classic videos will go.
