Microsoft Stream is moving from a standalone video storage, which was limited to only people inside our organization to SharePoint/OneDrive. This is a great update, you will finally be able to share a video outside the KCC Organization.

Stream (on SharePoint) Upload Videos

There are a few different Options on uploading videos to Stream (on SharePoint) 

Option 1: Upload directly to OneDrive (recommended)

OneDrive is the default save location for all Stream (on SharePoint) videos. When uploading to Stream (on SharePoint) it saves it to the top level (a.k.a. root folder) of OneDrive this could cause some organizational issues. I highly recommend going into OneDrive, creating a folder for video's in an organized way. If you think of all your video's for classes making a class folder for each course (BIOL-101 & CHEM-110 & MATH-140 etc.) Combine all your course files in this one folder. 

For more help with click here: OneDrive Help 

Once logged into OneDrive:

1. Click on Upload from the top tool bar
2. Select either Files or Folders
3. Navigate to the file or folder and select it
4. Click on Upload

Option 2 Drag and Drop to Stream (on SharePoint):

From the File explorer, choose the file and with your mouse (left click and hold) drag it from the file explorer to Stream. This will automatically upload to your OneDrive (main folder).

Permissions/Link Settings

Once you have click the share icon and selected the method of sharing, adjust the permissions on the link

• Anyone with the link - gives access to anyone who receives the link, whether they received it directly from you or forwarded from someone else. This may include people outside the KCC Organization
• People in Kellogg Community College with the link - gives anyone inside the KCC Organization (Anyone with a KCC Email address) who has the link may access it whether it was sent directly to them by you or forwarded from someone else. 
• People with existing access - can be used by people who already have access tot he document, file, or folder. It does not change any permissions. Use this if you just want to send a link to someone who already as access. For instance, you emailed it to them a while ago and they cannot seem to find it so you would reshare the link with them. 
• Specific people - will only be available to those you have specified, even if one of the individuals shares or forwards it to someone else they will not have access to view the file/video. 

Other Link settings:

• Allow editing - let people who are signed in with a KCC account can edit the files or folders they have access to. If you are sharing a folder, people with Edit permissions can copy, move, edit, rename, share and delete anything in the folder they have access to. Unchecking this box means that people can view, copy, or download your items without signing in. They can also forward the link to other people. However, they cannot make changes to the version on your OneDrive or SharePoint.
  • Is turned on by default
  • You can set editing permission on the previous screen. Under Send link, next to the Name, group or email field, select the pencil icon to change the editing permissions for the people of groups you have entered.
• Block download - prevents people from downloading the file or folders they have access to. Unchecking this box means that people can download the files onto their devices. 
  • this option is only available if you don't allow editing
• Set expiration date - lets you set a date for the link to expire. After the date you set, the link won't work anymore and you will need to create a new link for users requiring access to your file or folder. 
• Set password - lets you set a password to access the file. When a user clicks the link, they will be prompted to end a password before they can access the file. 
  • You'll need to provide this password separately to anyone you want to share the file with.

Let's face it, nothing is ever 100% all the time. Although I believe they do a pretty good job with the automatic captions, there is room for improvement.

2. Locate the error in the transcripts and click Edit
3. When you are finished making your edits, click on Done
