Sharing Microsoft Stream (Classic) Teams recordings with users who are external to the University


Important terminology note: The earlier version of Stream will now be known as Microsoft Stream (Classic) https://web.microsoftstream.com/ and the new version will be referred to as Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint) https://stream.office.com to clarify the differences moving forward.
This article only applies to content in Stream (Classic). By default this includes all Teams meeting recordings made prior to Monday 27th June 2022.

Microsoft Stream (Classic) recordings can only be shared with users who are external to the University outside of the Teams and Stream (Classic) environment. This article outlines how this can be achieved through downloading the recording from Microsoft Stream (Classic) and sharing the file externally via OneDrive.
