Permissions on your video

 

Only people authorized to see a video will be able to view it. By default, when you upload a video, the permissions are set for the video to be visible to the whole company. If you want to specify permissions to the specific users/groups, you can customize the video permissions. You can do that during upload or at some later time by editing the video permissions.

To choose specific groups/channels, or users, go to the Permissions tab and select who can view the video. To view the video, they must be signed in to Microsoft Stream. You can also make the video private.

 

External sharing

Microsoft Stream doesn't yet support external sharing scenarios for guests or people outside your organization. We know these features are highly needed and we are working on plans for how to build these features. You can add your votes and comments to these ideas on the Microsoft Stream ideas forum:
