Re: Microsoft Stream
#62Maybe things aren't as bad as I imagine them to be, but my immediate reaction to this was that now instead of working we are all going to be required to spend time watching "enterprise" videos - as if countless hours being wasted in senseless meetings watching someone's latest PowerPoint creation is not enough. Way to go, coders, way to go...
This about best practices, knowledge sharing, executive communications!
Of course, but abuse (mostly managerial, but not only) knows no limits.

#63Instead of YouTube-Enterprise it would be nice to have a way to produce better video. I find it hard to sit through poorly produced and horribly narrated videos, some kind of hosted production service that helps make better videos would be really useful. Coach the user to get better lighting, sound and tighter editing.
I agree - but you want to first make a smooth + easy to use platform to encourage the user to stick around for that coaching. Otherwise, I'll just find the whole experience burdensome.
Hopefully your recommendation is on MSFT's roadmap.
Re: Microsoft Stream
#64It seems like using unlisted videos with YouTube solves 99% of the use cases.
Can you encrypt a Youtube channel? (I actually don't know...) Seems like this addresses a lot of security scenarios that Enterprise cares about.

Have you considered Vidyard or Wistia?

#66Earlier quoted context omitted.
This is pure speculation, but I'm thinking they leveraged Azure Media Services[1] to deliver Stream, perhaps partially as a hero story for Azure. I feel like it's way too quick for them to have built an entire solution based off the Lynda stuff. I'm not even sure the companies are that integrated yet.

I'm one of the Stream engineering managers. Our team also operates Azure Media Services (AMS) and Office 365 Video. Stream is built on AMS.
Awesome stuff! I'm a fan of AMS and I was excited to hear about Stream and had a hunch that it was AMS. Looking forward to trialing it!

#68what about o365 video?
During preview, Microsoft Stream and Office 365 Video will co-exist. We will integrate Microsoft Stream into Office 365 to offer one video solution for businesses – whether they use Office 365 or not.

Re: Microsoft Stream
#69Oh man this hurts. I worked with a company several years ago to bring an "enterprise youtube" to market, but it was only ever marketed to pyramid-style corporations as a sales training tool. I believe it's still in use by a few hundred thousand employees, but as far as I know it's still just being artificially restricted to those types of businesses :(
Re: Microsoft Stream
#70Microsoft bought LinkedIn this year, and LinkedIn bought Lynda last year ( https://www.lynda.com/press/pressrelease?id=4563 ), though the Microsoft transaction seems like it's still in flight. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a simple whitelabeling of Lynda (or perhaps adaptation to a slightly tweaked use case -- this doesn't seem focused specifically on organizational eLearning) since Lynda hasn't been discontinue…
"I wouldn't be surprised if this is a simple whitelabeling of Lynda" I don't work on this team so I have no clue to say anything 100%, but given that the LinkedIn deal has not closed yet I see no way how that can be true.
