Microsoft Stream Reviews & Product Details

I use Microsoft Stream to create training videos for remote employees. It is EXTREMELY easy to record your screen and talk through the steps using a headset. It is also very intuitive. I was able to set up, record, and share my video in minutes without ever watching a video tutorial. I also like the ability to create channels to invite only employees relevant to the training. I can manage their access and remove them afterwards or add new people as necessary. There is a share feature that is seamless within Microsoft Teams and allows team members to view the videos without going to a separate system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little to dislike. Stream took all of the needs for video creation and sharing and married it with MS Teams. Setting up a private group was a little bit complicated, but after doing it once, it will be easy in the future. I probably would have been faster if I looked up a How-to, but I wanted to figure it out on my own. There are plenty of built-in tutorials that anyone should be able to figure it out.

I like the ability to create channels and share videos across channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fact that Microsoft has still not implemented a way to share videos outside of your organization really bottlenecks what you are able to do. This is in my eyes the number one pain point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's secure and works well with the entire M365 suite and does as expected Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a small learning curve for people that don't understand that the login details for Stream are your M365 login details but other than that its great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the best options is to merge with other Microsoft applications such as Teams, SharePoint, and others. Once you have completed the video at the request of the group, the broadcast can still be updated or shared with others whether or not you need an offline file. This connection has helped me for a long time in my career, making it easy to record video conferences to add and watch whenever you need it. This will help others who have not been willing to attend a meeting or event, which has been saved by the meeting. Very painful to use. When I put something in the Teams, I just write it down and then share it. Video sharing is very easy to navigate and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It may be that you can download the file for offline use but you only need to play it in streaming mode. Cannot access other media applications for them to play. Of course, they can do some development by integrating YouTube and other social sites, but you can do whatever you want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The one of the best part is the integration with other applications of Microsoft like teams, SharePoint etc. Once you are done with a video recording at the teams app, it will be immediately available on stream to play or share it with others or even if you want an offline file. This integration helps me a lots of time in my work and made it easy to record video conferences which includes presentation and watch it whenever you want. This also help others who missed to attend any meeting or conference, we have the meeting saved in stream. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

May be its the fact that you can download the file to use offline but you have to play inside the stream app only. It can't be accessible for other media application to play through them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Acts as an organisations ‘s internal video gallery, helpful for training’s and meeting recordings.. we often upload training sessions for all the employees to watch and learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Versioning is not available as in share point .. trimmed part of the video can not be recovered ..requires license Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It saves recordings, it essentially acts as a homepage for all things that have been shared with you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little difficult to navigate too, otherwise good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use. When I record something on Teams, it automatically records, and than, I can share without having any problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well, at this moment, I don't have anything. Probably, they can do some developments with the integration of YouTube and other social sites, but what you need, you can do with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Stream is a dynamic video platform for enterprises with all the modern features. The automatic face recognition in the video and timelining it automatically is groundbreaking. Automated transcription of the contents and translation of the transcription in multiple languages is something which makes different from other video platforms.

The additional add-on licence system for the attractive features is not acceptable as it increases cost and licence management overhead. The feature sets also vary between different Office 365 subscriptions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best things about Microsoft Stream is the integration with other Microsoft applications such as SharePoint and Teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislikebthe most is that there is no unlisted video feature like YouTube. Sometimes we have videos that need to be accessed by several different people, so would like a middle ground between public and private video space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
