Users will be able to play back video hosted on OneDrive and SharePoint that is encoded in the Apple ProRes video codec.
This feature adds seek bar (preview) thumbnails to Microsoft Stream’s video player. The thumbnails provide a preview of the video content when hovering over the player’s seek bar at a certain timestamp. Currently, it will only be made available for Teams meeting recordings.
Stream (on SharePoint) video files tend to be large and consume considerable space against your OneDrive and SharePoint storage quotas. Currently, when you make changes to video metadata, such as adjustments to the video title, description, transcript, chapters, interactivity, thumbnails, or media settings, those changes trigger a new version (that includes both the video and metadata) to be created and stored in the version history for that file. Each of these versions consumes storage that counts towards your storage quota. To reduce the storage footprint driven by small changes, we are adjusting how Stream (on SharePoint) handles versions.
Soon we will release an update to Stream version history. Once released, any changes made to the metadata of Stream files will no longer trigger an entirely new version in the file’s version history. Instead, it will update the metadata of the most current version of the video in version history. If you edit the video itself, then a new version that includes both the video and metadata will be created and stored in the version history.
Note: The update to Stream version history applies to Stream videos stored in OneDrive and SharePoint. SharePoint is also introducing new version history limits and controls that help tenant and site admins or document library owners reduce the storage footprint driven by low value file versions. These new version history limits and controls will only apply to Stream videos if changes to the video are made from within a SharePoint document library without opening the video in Stream (e.g. a file name change from within a SharePoint doc library). See Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 145802 for more information on version history limits and controls.
This feature gives audience engagement metrics on interactive Stream videos. Users with edit access to a Stream video that contains links, polls, or callouts will be able to see the number of unique viewers and the percentage of those who viewed or clicked on interactive elements in the video, as well as average number of interactions and average attention time. These metrics help video owners understand which content is most engaging.
This feature is an improvement on the Interactivity feature in Microsoft Stream, where users with edit access can add document and other links to Callouts at specific times in a video. The goal of the improvement is to make creating and editing of interactive videos easier and quicker for editors by suggesting resources to link based on their M365 user activity. If there are no relevant suggestions, this allows them to search for resources to make their videos interactive from within Microsoft Stream.
First-time users of Microsoft Stream will see informational modals that explain what Stream is and its basic functionality. Users will be able to close these modals at any step. When the tenant acquires new premium functionalities, such as Copilot in Stream, more modals will be displayed explaining the new functionalities.
Stream is adding a delete option to the Stream Web App. If a user has editing permissions to a video in Stream, they will be able to delete a video directly from the Stream Web App by clicking the delete button on the command bar and confirming the action. The video file will be sent to the Recycle Bin of the OneDrive or SharePoint page the video was hosted on and any access to the video will lead to a page informing the user that the video has been removed.
This dashboard gives access to aggregated analytics for videos on a SharePoint site. This feature will go live in late January for customers enrolled in the private preview of Stream advanced video analytics. Customers interested in applying to join the private preview may submit an application via the URL associated with this roadmap item.
We expect the dashboard to enter general availability in June. The metrics on this dashboard are divided into the following sections:
This feature allows a user to move from the Stream Web App to the equivalent meeting recording on Microsoft Teams (in the Recap tab). Watching the meeting in Microsoft Teams provides additional meeting information such as Speakers and Topics.
