Uploading Media to Stream

Upload Video and Media to Stream

In addition to using Stream to create video recordings, you can also upload video and media files that have been recorded using other software, or from web-enabled devices.

Upload video and media up to 2GB in size

1. Navigate to the Stream start page within Microsoft 365
2. From the "Create New" options listed across the top of the page select "Upload".
3. Use the file directory to locate and select the desired video file.
4. An "Upload to" window will display. The default location to upload to is "OneDrive". This will place the video files in "My Files" with default permissions to view and edit extended to you alone. 
   1. (optional) click "Change location" to upload the video file to a specific folder within "My Files" or to a shared folder or Teams space.
5. Click Upload button. 
6. An upload progress pop-up will appear bottom right of your screen. Once upload is complete:
7. Click "Open" to go to the new media page
8. Click "dismiss" to close the progress pop-up.

Uploading video and media more than 2GB in size

You can use the method described above to upload videos of up to approximately 2 GB in size. Video files larger than 2 GB will work in Stream too, but you can't upload them through the Stream start page. Instead, upload large video files to OneDrive (or to Teams). 

1. Go to Microsoft 365.
2. Click the waffle menu (the 3x3 grid of squares) in the upper left corner.
3. Choose OneDrive.
4. Upload your large video file to OneDrive. See: Microsoft OneDrive training: Upload files and folders
5. Wait for your video file to finish uploading.
6. Click your video file in OneDrive to open the video in Stream.
