Does Simpplr integrate with MS Stream?

While Simpplr does not offer a direct integration with Microsoft Stream yet, you are able to copy & paste a video url from Stream, or embed the video file in a tile or on your content. You can also share whole libraries the same way you'd share an individual video.

Note:

Because this is not a full integration, the videos you share or embed from MS Stream will not be transcribed or searchable in Simpplr. 

Upload your MS Stream video

First, you'll want to make sure you've uploaded the video to MS Stream and set the appropriate permission levels to get your Simpplr audience to see it. 

  1. Log in to your MS Stream account. Click Create in the top navigation. Select Upload video. We recommend your video be in .mp4 format.

  4. Set up your permissions. By default, you can have your entire company view your video. Alternatively, you can limit visibility based on People, Channels or Groups. You can create a Channel or Group from scratch.

  8. You can embed a video within a Simpplr HTML tile, or you can embed a video within Simpplr content (i.e. page, event, album, blog post). Copy the embed code and paste it into a Simpplr HTML tile or within Simpplr content. Note that Simpplr does not support the Direct link option.

Why can't I view my video when using Safari?

This is a known issue on Microsoft's end, and they are working to fix it.

Microsoft community has a discussion you can follow here:

The current workaround is to disable Prevent Cross-Site Tracking in Safari or use a different browser.
