Windows 10: Microsoft Stream Live Events now generally available in Microsoft 365

Brink · Mar 26, 2019

We are very excited to announce that live events are now generally available.  Live events in Microsoft 365 enables anyone to create live and on-demand events that deliver compelling communications to employees. Events use video and interactive discussion across Stream, Teams, or Yammer. And the production can be as simple, or as sophisticated as needed, using webcams and screen sharing for informal presentations, or a studio-quality production for more formal events. Up to 10,000 attendees can participate in real-time from anywhere, on any device, or catch up later with powerful AI features that unlock the content of the event recording.

Catch up with the Intrazone Podcast to learn more about the launch of live events!

Check out our documentation to get started and to learn more about all the capabilities of live events!

Getting started with live events in Stream

We've made a simple step-by-step guide to help you create your first live event! Just open Microsoft Stream and select Create > Live event to get started.

What can I use to connect my live broadcast?

From studio production setups with multiple cameras, microphones, and content sources, to desktop webcam and screen sharing applications, Microsoft Stream will help you deliver events of any type. To connect your cameras, microphones and content sources, Microsoft Stream has an easy setup flow with some of our great partners such as Haivision KB and Makito encoders, Switcher Studio, Wirecast and Wirecast S! Looking for more configuration settings? We allow for manually configuring too from your supported application or device; just remember to follow the recommended settings.

Who can create live events?

By default, everyone in your organization with an assigned license plan (listed here) can create a live event - so get started today! If you are a Microsoft Stream administrator, you can make changes to settings and manage who can create events, see active live events, and see upcoming events in your organization. You have control over all live events in Microsoft Stream - so you can start, stop, modify and delete events. Check out the live events administration documentation to learn more.

Optimizing video delivery within your network

For organizations that want to reduce internet traffic and optimize network bandwidth for live events and popular videos, Microsoft Stream can be enabled to integrate with video delivery providers offering SDN/eCDN solutions. Our partners, Hive, Kollective, and Ramp, can help deliver a more scalable and efficient video distribution across your enterprise network. Check out the scaling video delivery documentation to learn more.

Replacing your video after the event

Coming soon, Microsoft Stream will allow you to replace your video after your live event has ended. This allows you to upload an updated version of the event video to remove front and back bumpers typically seen with a live event, or edit and add content that happened during the event. Stay tuned to the blog for more details coming soon!

Live events in Microsoft 365

Seamless integration across Microsoft 365 means that you can use Microsoft Stream, Teams, and Yammer to deliver your message wherever your audience, team, or community resides. Attendees can participate in real time, with high-definition video and interactive discussion, or catch up later with powerful AI features that unlock the content of the event recording.

Microsoft Stream now available worldwide

Video has become an increasingly important medium in both the consumer and business realms. In the workplace, video is a key way to share information, educate and train employees, drive engagement and build culture.

Last year, we released a preview of Microsoft Stream, the intelligent enterprise video service that makes it easy for people inside any organization to securely upload, share, manage and view videos. Today, we’re excited to announce that Microsoft Stream is now generally available as a standalone service and is rolling out to Office 365 Enterprise customers in 181 markets and 44 languages. We’re also announcing new intelligent features that take productivity and user engagement to new heights.

A single destination for video—unlimited personalized experiences

Microsoft Stream is a single destination for video management, with built-in intelligence, deep integration across Office 365 and the IT management and security capabilities that businesses of all sizes require. It gives individuals a destination to contribute, search and discover all their company videos. It is also now the cross-suite video service for Office 365 in the enterprise, making it seamless for people to share videos inside Office 365 applications like SharePoint, Microsoft Teams and Yammer. Microsoft Stream is also integrated with Office 365 Groups, which means every group has a designated channel—making it even easier to manage content across teams.

Here’s a look at how intelligence is infused throughout the Microsoft Stream experience:

Speech-to-text transcribed audio—Transcribed audio becomes searchable text. Simply type in descriptive keywords to jump to any point in a video they are spoken.

Face detection—With face detection, viewers can see where each person in the video is shown throughout the video. A clickable timeline indicates every place they appear.

Linked timecodes—Timecodes are displayed within the comments section and are linked to the text transcripts or table of contents, so you can jump to a specific point in the video.

Connected and secure video—anywhere, anytime

Microsoft Stream utilizes built-in, industry leading encryption and authenticated access for video to ensure our customers are sharing content only with the intended audiences. Intuitive security features that utilize existing organizational identity through Azure Active Directory and Office 365 Groups make security management simple. Additionally, administrators can add custom guidelines or require employees to optionally accept terms before they can begin to upload videos. Videos provide a seamless and secure viewing experience across devices and screens and work wherever you are—at home or in the office. Microsoft Stream videos are also more accessible, with features like closed captioning, screen readers, keyboard navigation and high contrast.

Modern video service reimagined

Microsoft Stream builds on the learnings from Office 365 Video to bring intelligence and deeper integration into Office 365 and beyond. To learn more about the Office 365 Video transition to Microsoft Stream, visit our website.

Start using Microsoft Stream today

If you are a current Office 365 customer, you can find Microsoft Stream in the Office app launcher or visit the Microsoft Stream website to sign in. If you don’t have Office 365, try a Microsoft Stream standalone plan or start your free trial right away.

To learn more about Microsoft Stream, join our Ask Us Anything session on the Microsoft Tech Community, June 29, 2017 at 9 a.m. PDT.
