Stream (on SharePoint) to Replace Stream (Classic)

New Microsoft Stream interface in computer and mobile views, with an information panel and a picture of a woman in a video recording.Microsoft has announced that Stream (Classic) is being retired and replaced by Stream (on SharePoint). Stream (on SharePoint) is an intelligent video experience that empowers you to record, upload, discover, share, and manage video just as you would any other file. Unlike Stream (Classic), Stream (on SharePoint) seamlessly integrates with apps across Microsoft 365, so you get the same experience no matter where you add or engage with video content.

With Stream (on SharePoint), you can:

  • Upload video or audio files to SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive just like any other file.
  • Find and get back to recent videos, ones shared with you from the Stream start page in Office.
  • Generate a transcript and closed captions for the language spoken in a video in SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive.
  • Manually add chapters, letting a viewer jump right to the part of the audio/video file they want.
  • Collaborate with comments, just like with any other Microsoft 365 document.
  • Add custom thumbnails, titles, and descriptions.
  • Share videos with others, including external partners or guests, just like you share any other file.
  • Feature videos in pages, sites, portals, and Microsoft Teams.
  • Get analytics to know how your viewers are watching.

Microsoft Stream (Classic) Video Migration

Microsoft has released its Stream (Classic) retirement timeline. As of this month, Seton Hall users can no longer upload videos to Stream (Classic). Instead, users are encouraged to begin using Stream (on SharePoint) by uploading videos to SharePoint, Teams, or OneDrive, and to run your live events through Teams.

To assist with the transition, the Department of Information Technology has migrated over videos from Stream (Classic) to Stream (on SharePoint).

Locate your migrated videos: 
  1. Log into your Microsoft 365 Dashboard using your Seton Hall email and password.
  2. Search for “Stream” in the keyword search bar and select the icon from your search results.
  3. Use Stream search to find videos that you own (including videos migrated from Stream Classic).

Additional Resources:

Microsoft has created many helpful how-to articles and resources to help you navigate Stream (on SharePoint).  Should you need assistance using the platform or locating your migrated videos, please open a Technology Service Desk ticket.
