Description

Microsoft Stream is an Enterprise Video service where people in the 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.

There are two limitations to using Microsoft Stream: Videos can only be shared internally with other individuals within UCSF and Stream videos cannot be embedded within webpages.

NOTE: MS Stream will be retired by Microsoft on February 15th, 2024 as this functionality will become a part of SharePoint. Consult this page for more information regarding the migration of your videos from MS Stream to SharePoint.
