Microsoft Stream

[CAWJames]

Afternoon all,

 

Like a lot of places, we are starting to use Teams for students. We like the idea of recording the meetings. Great, works well.

 

We want to use Stream as this is where they are upload to and processed.

 

We can manually add a group in stream, and then tab that group into the Team channel, then we can upload the link from the stream recording into that tab, for easy viewing later for the students.

 

This is all manual though, we create the teams automatically, but then we have to go in and create all the stream stuff manually, and cant really ask the lecturers to go and create it all, we don't mind them having to link each video, but the group setup is a bit beyond!!

 

Is there no PS or automation with this to make it easier?

 

I know they can see the content in Stream itself, but we are trying to make things easier than scrolling up and down the chat for the link, or having to go to another app out of teams to find things!

 

Any insights appreciated,

 

Thanks

James

Microsoft have provided us with some resources for Teams here - EduGeek.net - Microsoft Resources for Teams Users/Administrators (scroll down for the article and attachments).

If there is nothing contained in the resources, please let us know and we shall ask Microsoft to see if they can't sort something out for you all.

Unless I'm missing something on the way it works

 

The only way I can see to do this is Create the channel in Teams (where you can choose the already created Class lists etc - if you have that functionality in AD) and then attach stream videos to that channel

Yeah unless I'm misunderstanding what you want, seems you're overcomplicating it.

 

You have a channel in streams that you setup, and add the channel to teams via a tab (Can be searched by name etc), and then it'll auto add videos to teams. No groups/manualness needed unless you specifically wanted groups for security etc?

What we want to do, is run our team creation script which already creates the team, adds the owners, adds the members, then subscribes everyone to the team, then we want it to automatically create a stream group and add it as a tab in the team. So when the lecturer goes in for the first time, it is all ready with the tab there ready to show the students lists of the things that will be recorded. We want IT admin to be minimal, run the script, leave them to it. At the moment, we create the team with the script then for each course we have to go to Stream, link the Teams group, copy the URL, then go to the newly created team, add a tab, paste in the URL and done. For a lot of courses, that's a lot of admin. Does that make sense?
