Host Team Videos in Stream, Not Email Attachments

Training videos and meeting recordings belong in Stream — chapters, transcripts, and permissions that email can't do.

  1. 1. Upload to Stream via SharePoint

    Modern Stream lives on SharePoint — upload to a dedicated Videos library. Automatic transcripts and chapters generate without extra work, making content searchable.

  2. 2. Organize by audience, not by date

    Folders per team or topic (Onboarding, Safety, Sales) beat chronological dumps. New hires find day-one videos in seconds instead of excavating meeting recordings.

  3. 3. Share links, set expiry on sensitive content

    Distribute Stream links with appropriate permissions and expiry for confidential material. Retire outdated training visibly — stale procedures followed confidently are worse than none.
