To that end, Microsoft has been working hard to make it easier to create, share, discover and manage video. Microsoft wants to make managing video the same as any office file. Here are Microsoft’s stated milestones for the upgrade of Microsoft Stream: Saving meeting recordings to Microsoft 365 High-quality playback and scale Bring innovations to the new version of Stream Migrate existing Stream customers Teams Meetings Recordings saved to Microsoft 365 The first goal that Microsoft had was to improve meeting recordings by saving them in OneDrive and SharePoint. One important feature that will be rolling out soon is the ability to block the download of the recording for non-channel meetings. Playback Quality and Scale The next goal for the service is to bring high-quality playback into video across the Microsoft 365 service (OneDrive, Teams, and SharePoint). To accomplish this, Microsoft is adding Content Delivery Network support for video playback and an improved player. Microsoft is planning to roll out these updates soon. Advancing Stream Innovation Soon, administrators will be able to apply compliance and governance rules to video files. Next, Microsoft will soon be releasing an improved SharePoint Video Page and a new Stream App Migration For the final phase, Microsoft will be releasing documentation on how to migrate from Stream Classic alongside a new migration tool. Look for these updates this summer. Print 1363
