TL;DR:
Microsoft will be rolling out the new Stream web app soon. The web app improves how you view and publish video and audio files that are stored in/uploaded to Teams, Yammer, OneDrive, and SharePoint. The app and player experience works seamlessly with Office.com and brings key features of the Stream (classic) player to the experience of watching video from Teams, Yammer, OneDrive, and SharePoint. Due early August to late September 2022.
Details:
To use the app, simply open an audio or video file from its location in SharePoint, OneDrive, stream.office.com or from a share link. Opening the file will open the Stream web app where you can view the video (or listen to the audio file) prepare your video for publishing with a title and description, set a custom thumbnail, add chapters, generate a transcript, share videos, and share your video.
For the admins:
Admins do not need to take any action. If you’re organisation is storing videos in Stream (classic) there will be no change to how you view those videos or publish changes to them. Videos stored in Stream (classic) will continue to open and play in the Stream (classic) player.
Most organisations currently store Teams Meeting recording in OneDrive and SharePoint, and these, along with any other videos stored in OneDrive or SharePoint will automatically be played by the Stream web app.
Availability:
Due early August to late September 2022.
