Stream (Classic) is being retired and will be replaced by Stream (on SharePoint). On May 15, 2023, you will no longer be able to upload videos to Stream (Classic). Functionality in Stream (Classic) will be changed and removed leading up to the retirement date, February 15, 2024.

Please begin to use Stream (on SharePoint) as soon as possible and delete any videos from Stream (Classic) that are no longer needed.

The new Stream (on SharePoint) offers many benefits, including: 

  • The ability to play and record videos directly in other M365 apps, such as Teams, Viva, PowerPoint, and SharePoint 
  • Searching for videos anywhere in M365 
  • Viewing video analytics 
  • Easily finding what you need (recent, shared, favourite videos) from the Stream start page in M365 
  • Sharing videos as you would other files in M365 with support for guests/external users, specific people, and people in your organization links

Videos from Stream (Classic) will be migrated by IST to the new Stream (on SharePoint) Details regarding the migration will be shared at a later date.
