Microsoft Stream

 

ATTENTION: Due to changes with the default sharing permissions being used in the Durham College instance of Microsoft 365, embedded Stream videos will not work unless the sharing permissions are set to “People in Durham College” by using the Copy Link feature. See below for full instructions.

 

Microsoft Stream is a Microsoft 365 video service that allows faculty and students to upload, create, view and share videos securely within our organization. All students, faculty and staff at Durham College have access to Microsoft Stream as part of the Microsoft 365 suite.

Note: Microsoft is making continuous improvements to Stream. As a result, some CTL or Microsoft documentation on Stream might be slightly different than what your are seeing in the DC instance of stream.

Accessing Stream:

  • Faculty & Staff - Go to Microsoft365.com and sign in with your DC email and your network password. Then select "Stream" from the waffle menu in the top-left corner. If you do not see Stream listed, select All apps.
  • Students - Login through dcmail.ca, then press the waffle icon on the left side of their screen and select "Stream". To watch a video, students can click directly on the video link being shared with them (they will be required to login with their DC Mail credentials).

      How to Use Stream:

      Below are some resources to provide support with the use of Stream.

      SHARE VIDEOS WITH STREAM:

      Stream videos are actually being stored in OneDrive, so sharing a video file can be done the same way you share other files in OneDrive. Just remember to enable captions!

        Captions:

        Remember, all videos must have captions to meet accessibility requirements. Whether you are uploading a video or creating one using Stream, it is very easy to generate captions.

        When previewing the video, look for the Video settings. Within the Transcript and captions section, select Generate.
