Hi @Jeffrey Cohen,

Thank you for posting your question on Microsoft Q&A Community. We're happy to help you with your concern.

To better understand your issue with embedding your OneDrive video into Sway, could you clarify a few things:

1/ What type of video file are you trying to embed (e.g., MP4, MOV)?

Is the video stored in your personal OneDrive or OneDrive for Business?

2/ Have you set the video’s sharing permissions to “Anyone with the link can view”?

Are you using the embed code from OneDrive or trying to paste a link directly into Sway?

3/ Can you describe the exact steps you followed to embed the video?

Did you use the “Add” > “Media” > “Embed” option in Sway?

4/ Are you seeing an error message, or is the video just not displaying?

Does the issue occur with all videos or just this one?

Once I have a bit more detail, I’ll be able to guide you more precisely.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi @Jeffrey Cohen,

Good day! Thank you for your response. I understand your concern, and I truly appreciate you reaching out.

Since you're using a personal OneDrive account linked to a personal email, this falls outside the scope of our support for enterprise services. To ensure you receive the most accurate and effective assistance, I recommend contacting Microsoft Personal Support directly.

Here’s how you can do that:

Go to https://support.microsoft.com/contactus

Choose Office > Get home support

Enter “Office” or your issue (e.g., “embed OneDrive video in Sway”) in the box below "We're here for you", then click Get Help

Scroll down and click on Contact Support, then log in to your personal Microsoft account

If you cannot log in, you can use another account or create a new one to proceed

Select Microsoft 365 and Office under Products & Services, choose Technical Support as the category, and click Confirm

Select Chat in a web browser with a support specialist to enter the chat window

Thank you for your kindness and understanding.
