Sharing a Video from Stream using Anonymous links doesn't allow users to download video
Hi, Download button disappeared again from the Stream view of the video when it is shared via Anonymous link using Can view Setting. Can view setting also wrongly presents the description as: Anyone with the link can view but can't download which in essence is true but it shouldn't be true for the Can view setting. When I switch to Can't download and Apply it and then go back to the link settings and choose Can view, I get the correct description: Anyone with the link can view. However, when opened, the video still doesn't have the Download button. Marc Mroz is this planned shift in regard to Stream revamp or just a unintended side effect - bug? Thank you for the effort.SemirTeskeredzicJul 31, 2025Copper Contributor54Views1like1CommentSharing a Video using Anonymous links no longer allows users to download video
Our end users have reported a new issue this year in which when sharing a video from their SharePoint/OneDrive site collection using the anonymous link + can view privilege (this is using the latest sharing experience), the external users are no longer provided an option to download the video on their end. This functionality was being used by our end users since last year to allow external vendors and customers to download videos. I can still see the Download option (using an anonymous sharing link) for other non-office files like PDFs from the same work tenant. As of last week, my personal development tenant didn't have this issue. However, today while trying to reproduce the error, I can see that the Download option is no longer available for Anonymously shared files from my development tenant either. Is there an update being pushed out that is causing this bug Marc Mroz ?SolvedJithinR2380Jul 30, 2025Copper Contributor2.9KViews0likes11CommentsVideo Quality Default Setting
I'm a video creator at my org. So, I'm generally viewing things through a hybrid, technical+creative lens. As we begin to share internal videos via Stream (SP), I'm regularly noticing that the video quality playback settings are set to "Auto." Often, that leads to the video playing entirely in a low resolution, where it's mostly pixelated; even the thumbnail image previews with the same low resolution. I understand there are various contributing factors here, but I also discovered that users can toggle the video settings to "1080p." Still, it always defaults back to "auto." I'm wondering if there is a way to lock that setting to 1080p for all users within our organization, because it's not realistic to communicate such a setting change to all users.M1StorytellerJul 23, 2025Copper Contributor6KViews0likes15Comments✨Get embed code for video in SharePoint or OneDrive

Hi everyone, i am working for an IT department and received the following incident. I wanted to bring up an issue we've been experiencing with the audio quality of board videos when played on SharePoint. Locally, the videos play perfectly fine, but once uploaded to the SPO, we notice frequent clicking sounds that significantly affect the audio quality. Details: The audio issues seem to occur randomly and are not consistent across all videos. We are following the rules for encoding - Video formats you can play on Microsoft 365 - Microsoft Support MP4 1080p - 5Mbps, Audio AAC 192Kbps - Encoder is Adobe Premiere If you download the file locally there is no clicking - it is only in the Streaming web player Has anyone else experienced similar issues with the web player and .mp4 files? We would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Looking forward to any advice from the community.

Hello, I have a playlist of training videos. I enabled seeing the names of viewers on the SharePoint site settings. This worked fine until recently. Now not only do I not see the names, but the actual viewer count in Stream does not change either. I have confirmed with staff and faculty that they have watch the latest video, but the viewer count doesn't change and the viewer names are not added. I didn't change anything with my playlist or videos that I have been using for almost a year. Older videos that show for example 60 viewers, if watched now, no not change the viewer count either. Any ideas why analytics would not be working since about June? Thanks, DebbiedaomsoeMay 19, 2025Copper Contributor1.1KViews1like6CommentsStream to Clipchamp Rebranding is Rolling Out Now
In a Targeted Release tenant, we just started to see the Stream web player be rebranded to Clipchamp today. There hasn't been a Message Center post about the rest of the rollout, what happens to "open in Stream" for meeting recordings, etc. but thought I'd put this out there for other customers to get prepared now for this change. More about the change that was announced in November but not other updates since then.384Views0likes1CommentEmbed SharePoint Video on External Sites
Is it possible to embed a Stream on SharePoint video on an external/public site? The technique described in this article, of updating the embed code with a link you set to public, did not work for me: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/onedrive-embed-links-dont-allow-public-viewing/251ddb80-467e-44f7-b7a8-3182e19bf671 The embed code I got was very different from the one in the article.SolvedstuartmcgarrityApr 08, 2025Copper Contributor9.9KViews1like21CommentsMicrosoft Stream latest updates have made it useless
This is a complaint about the recent changes to Microsoft Stream especially adding ClipChamp. I can no longer use Microsoft Stream for work and now have to rely on OBS or some other method to get recordings and transcripts. 0) You used to be able to find streams that you attended. Now under the current changes it impossible to find those stream recordings. Across multiple departments and inter-government agencies. The changes have caused a loss of training. 1) The record button for teams is not working properly for guest outside my Microsoft networking (especially when I am the guest and its a training provide by Microsoft). You used to be able to receive transcripts of trainings from Microsoft. These were link to the stream recordings. However, now those same transcripts give a one drive error and are no longer accessible. 2) You used to be able to record a longer than 15 minutes, but then trim it down. It use to allow you to ignore the time limit to split the file into smaller chunks. Then you could delete those splits where the recording had issues. Then you splice them back together as long as the end video remained under 15 minutes. This is currently not possible with the current version of Microsoft Streams. You are not allowed to have true control and editing power of what you record. I am sorry, but until this fixed. I will have to ask my department to consider using different meeting software to hold important meetings and record. P.S. In the future please carefully consider the business needs of your clients before making changes that break the usefulness of the software.afrstatMar 22, 2025Copper Contributor313Views3likes3Comments
