Was anybody else a bit confused by how the page says "The content you want, and nothing else - Create a secure, encrypted video site with no ads and no unrelated videos to distract people—and no headaches for your IT department." and right next to it they show a screenshot of a page with "Trending Videos" and "Popular Channels"? Isn't that pretty much the opposite of what they should be showing there?

#12It seems like using unlisted videos with YouTube solves 99% of the use cases.
Unlisted videos aren't private, you also have a problem with the YT license.

#13This is going to be huge. 10 years ago, I would never have thought that technology alone sufficiently differentiated YouTube from "long tail" offerings like Vevo or Twitch. It turns out you can have multiple, multiple-billion-dollar businesses using essentially the same platform. The use cases inherent to various content niches inform new user interfaces and modes of interacting with the underlying video data.
Enterprise Video is a huge content niche. I've used YouTube in the past for business videos, but it was awkward. I wanted greater privacy, which YouTube does not really offer, because these videos discussed pre-launch ideas. We already used Office 365, so Microsoft Stream would have been a no-brainer.
I would love to perform research with the MS Stream platform, too. By focusing on the niche of business, Stream is creating interesting audience dynamics that will be quite different from the "grazing" model of recreational video watching. This is relevant to my interests.

Would uses cases that require corporate security account for only 1%?

No reason a corporation's internal video repository couldn't have those things, if they're large enough.

I think they are demonstrating discovery within-company. That feature will be huge. It potentially eliminates meetings that would have had to occur "between silos" - which are extremely difficult meetings to begin with.
If somebody from team A (on campus 1) can watch a video from team C (on campus 3) without needing their team leaders to coordinate a meeting, this will be extremely valuable to businesses.
But why would team A ever find out about team C? That's where this discovery feature comes in. See what's trending within-company.

#17What is the use case here?
Exactly what it says, which is providing a platform for companies to share videos for a variety of purposes. This was a topic of conversation at one of the companies I worked for, which is a large payroll service provider. The company has a series of offices distributed in many locations around the nation, and whenever a new training or motivational video was release, there was always a question of where to host it.…
The company I work for also had this problem, and solved it by using a third party provider (Absorb LM - https://www.absorblms.com/ )

It's Enterprise Youtube :-/
It's not really enterprise unless it's hooked into a corporate authentication system with policy controls and management capabilities. I'm puzzled why this isn't attached to Office365 for those reasons. The marketing page for it says that it's for companies, but the whole thing makes my inner MS admin twitch: self-sign up with no mention of SSO, docs are pitched as if it's a consumer product with no administrative fe…
Good points. I wonder about that as well (although as a user I hate all that stuff tied into Office365).

Yeah, Microsoft clearly is the way to go.
