Microsoft Stream (Uploading films)

[SYN-ACK]

Hi All,

 

Does anyone use Microsoft Stream as their primary platform for uploading media content, e.g films, videos made by school etc?

 

If so would you recommend this?

 

We're currently looking at moving away from Estream

Hi There,

My understanding is that Microsoft is retiring Stream... We migrated our videos to Teams / SharePoint as it looked like that Microsoft just wanted to treat video files just like any other file...

 

We made a 'Stream' Team and put all the videos there with channels for each faculty and only Teachers had access...

Our film studies dept heavily used the old stream and it worked well for them.

 

They were a bit disgruntled that they had to migrate content to new stream, but otherwise it works for their needs.

 

Provided it's internal sharing only.

SharePoint site, web page front end with a highlighted content web part. each department has a folder that content is uploaded into .

Salamander keeps three AD groups in sync with DOB of accounts, so all students 12 and above are added into the AD Group, same as they change age. They are left in the previous AD Groups "SITE NAME - 12 Rating", "SITE NAME - 15 Rating, "SITE NAME - 18 Rating" and "SITE NAME - All Students (U & PG)"

Permissions are changed on each file to set permissions.

 

Took a long time migrating content from Streams, but this works really well.
