Can I share my videos with a wide audience in the new version of Stream?
Yes, In Stream (on SharePoint) you can share your videos with anyone in your organization and external users* as well. You can take the embed code and use it with any website. You can also have a SharePoint site and feature your videos.
*External links expire after 30 days. External sharing is off by default for SharePoint sites. Please speak with the SharePoint team if you require this to be turned on. If you only need your video to be viewed by internal users (e.g. a class), we recommend using the “People in University of Toronto” share setting. This is equivalent to the “visible to organization” setting in Stream Classic.
Can I prevent people from downloading my videos in the new version of Stream?
Yes, in Stream (on SharePoint) you have the “block download” option which you can turn on when generating a sharing a link with people.
