Microsoft Stream: View and edit video/audio file information

We will be updating the web player for audio & video files that are stored in OneDrive and SharePoint (including when those files are embedded in Teams, Yammer, and SharePoint web parts) with two new features called About and Custom Thumbnail.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 93224 and 93225

When this will happen:

Targeted Release (select users and entire org): will begin rolling out in mid-April and expect to complete rollout late April.

Standard: will begin rolling out in mid-May and expect to complete rollout mid-June.

Government: will begin rolling out in early July and expect to complete rollout late July.

How this will affect your organization:
