If anything, this should cut down on time for meetings if used properly. Plus there's no 2x speed button when you're meeting up in meatspace.
Prediction: The speedup buttons will be globally configurable and will be promptly disabled by each company.

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…
They have Office 365 Video for folks on that platform: https://blogs.office.com/2016/07/18/what-microsoft-stream-me...

you can use an SP4 keyboard with an SP3 (and vice versa I guess)
Definitely, and some reviewers went as far to say that you can just buy the SP4 TypeCover and keep on using your SP3. Didn't work out well for me though, my SP3 was buggy as hell (wifi issues, couldn't wake up from sleep etc).
OT: Let's see how they fare with the SP5. I hope they upgrade the Surface 3 this time.

Why? That makes no sense. It's still possible to pick up on information when watching many videos at x2 speed (or x1.5 speed). All you're achieving by disabling such features is making your employees less productive.

Because we need people to pay attention and not fast forward through it. I'm not saying it's logical.

Not all companies are run by narcissists.

I have the need to produce internal webinars for a reasonably sized organisation. It will be interesting to see if they add live streaming, the ability to have real-time text chat and screensharing. Its slightly odd that a product called Stream doesn't actually 'stream' - though I understand that they are using th eterm in a different way here. For the moment, I'll stick with Youtube Live.
Now that would be very useful - screensharing, and Powerpoint slide switching integration would be the winner for me too. Webinars are a really interesting area - how much time do you dedicate to them if you don't mind me asking?

#90This is great for organizations that are already using office 365. We have been recording lots of presentations, and this is a prefect place to put them. If there are any Stream folks reading this my one request is an easy way to attach a slide deck to the videos. The video description is an okay place, but it would be even better if there was deeper integration. Like slides on one side of the screen.
