Microsoft Stream Classic – Manage and Share Teams Meeting Recordings

Microsoft Stream is an Enterprise Video service where people in your organization can upload, view, and share videos securely. You can share recordings of classes, meetings, presentations, training sessions, or other videos that aid your team’s collaboration. Microsoft Stream also makes it easy to share comments on a video, tag timecodes in comments and descriptions to refer to specific points in a video and discuss with colleagues.

This article is for the Classic Version of Microsoft Stream

Only recordings made prior to Fall 2021 semester will appear on Stream Classic. UVM has moved to Microsoft’s new meeting recording service, built on Microsoft OneDrive and Sharepoint.

    • As with searching all videos on Stream, entering a keyword into search will match not only words in the video’s title and description, but the transcript as well.

    • For example, click People and then type in a name to find a specific user.

Share a video by copying URL

Sharing with external users

Videos hosted on Stream can only be shared directly to other UVM users. If you need to share a video with external users, you can use UVM Streaming Media.

If it is a video already hosted on Stream, you can download the video to re-upload elsewhere. View the Download a video toggle below for instructions.

Permissions & Sharing

Only users and groups authorized in a video’s permissions will be able to view videos shared with them. Before sharing a video,  you may want to confirm the permissions will allow it to be shared correctly. View the Add a user or group in video permissions toggle below for instructions.

  1. In Stream, navigate to the video you would like to share.
  2. Click the Share icon below the video player.
  3. On the Share tab of the pop-up, click Copy by direct link to video.
    For a quicker way to grab the link, you can also also just copy the link directly from the address bar of the video page.
  4. You can now post or message this link elsewhere to share the video.

Teams meeting recordings

Info to be aware of:

  • Permissions – When a meeting is recorded in Teams, permissions will be set to allow whoever was invited to the meeting to view the video.
    • However, if a team channel is added to a meeting, the Stream recording will be set to only allow members of that channel to view to video (regardless of who else was invited). This can be changed afterwards in video permissions by the owner.
  • Recording owner – The user that initiated the recording will be set as the owner of the video. If the meeting is for a class, make sure the instructor is the one to initiate the recording.
  • Locating channel meeting recordings – Recordings made in a meeting that includes a team channel can be found by viewing the team’s corresponding group page (if you have permission to view the group).

For instructions on recording a Teams meeting, see Record a meeting in the main Teams article.
