Stream videos can now be watched inline in Outlook

Originally posted by Microsoft Nov 21, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We’re introducing the ability to watch Stream videos inline in Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 185389

When this will happen:

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out December 2023 and expect to complete by March 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

Soon, if someone pastes a Stream video link in a supported Outlook app and sends it to you, you will be able to watch it directly in your inbox. The videos will play inline for recipients within the same organization, meaning you will not have to leave Outlook to watch the video. Recipients outside the organization, and those not using the new Outlook or web, will see a link to the video which they can watch in the Stream web app (depending on the organization’s file sharing settings).

What you need to do to prepare:

You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
