You can use Microsoft Stream to upload, share, and watch videos within your organization. It integrates with Microsoft 365 apps like Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive, letting employees record meetings, training sessions, and announcements. Videos can be stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, with automatic captions and transcripts. Viewers can search video content by spoken words, and admins can control access and permissions. It works across devices and supports live events as well as on-demand video playback.
