Upload and share a video to Microsoft Stream with Teams Site permissions

Watch this video to learn how to upload a video file from your device to Microsoft Stream. Then set viewing permissions so that only members of a Teams site can watch your videos. See also step-by-step instructions below.

Note: This video is restricted to Marquette University users. If you are not already logged into Marquette's Office 365 portal, you will need to sign in to view this video.

Uploading a video to Microsoft Stream

Important: Read First

To continue with these instructions, you need a Teams site to assign viewing permissions and limit access to your video. If you don't have a Teams site, find out how to create a Teams site.

Instructors: Creating your own Microsoft Teams site means you will manually change the membership for students. Note that IT Services creates Teams sites for each course section, and students are automatically added and removed as enrollments change.

  1. Go to office.com. If you haven't recently logged in to Office 365, you may be prompted to sign in.

Setting Video Permissions and Options

    You must uncheck the Owner permission checkbox (zoomed in below) for the Teams site.

    Critical: Uncheck Owner permission for Teams site

  4. Before proceeding, please make sure you unchecked the owner permission checkbox for the Teams site in Step 9. If that owner permission checkbox for the Teams site is left checked, then Teams members — such as students on a Teams course site — can modify or delete your video .
