Microsoft Stream was an enterprise video service that allowed people in an organization to share, upload, view, and organize videos. Recently, Stream has been integrated into Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365, and classic Microsoft Stream is slated to be retired on February 15, 2024. This guide teaches you how to download a video from Classic Microsoft Stream and from Microsoft Stream on SharePoint.

Before you start:

  • You need a business or organization Microsoft account with login credentials.
  • You must be the video owner or have download permissions granted by the owner.
  • Your SharePoint admin may provide a custom login URL instead of the standard one.
Warning: Classic Microsoft Stream will retire on February 15, 2024. Download all your videos before this date to avoid permanent loss.

Pro tip: Organize downloaded videos into folders by project or date, and upload them to OneDrive or Teams for easy sharing in your organization after migration.

After downloading your videos, upload them to SharePoint, OneDrive, or Microsoft Teams to keep them accessible in the new Stream environment. This ensures seamless integration with your Microsoft 365 workflow. Label files clearly and share permissions with team members as needed.

Verify all videos play correctly after upload, and test download permissions for collaborators. Regularly back up your media library to prevent future data risks. Consider automating backups using Microsoft Power Automate for ongoing protection.
