Navigation bar
The navigation bar at the top of any Stream page makes it easy for you to browse videos, channel or groups, create new content or easily search for content. You can also use it to invite coworkers, access help or provide your feedback to Microsoft using the small icons on the left.

My watch list
This section only shows if you have videos in your watch list. A watch list is a convenient way to bookmark videos that you want to come back to.

To learn how to manage your watchlist see Manage your watchlist.
Followed channels
Channels are a great way to organize content. To stay in touch with new videos added to a channel or to bookmark it you can easily follow a channel. If you are following a channel, this part of the home page lets you see the new videos added to a channel and/or find the channel you follow easily. If you are no longer interested in a channel, to unfollow it, click Following.
For more information, see Follow a channel.
Trending videos and popular channels
