Stream

Stream Classic webpart retirement and new Stream (on SharePoint) webpart availability

This one is for you, those who add videos to SharePoint Pages and news posts. Microsoft will retire the Stream (Classic) webpart on Aug 15, 2023, and it will no longer be available for use after this date. The updated Stream web part will display single and multiple videos on SharePoint pages with inline playback - instead of popping you out to the Stream web app page.

Playlist view in the SharePoint List web part
