Microsoft Stream support articles are moving! They'll soon be part of the Clipchamp support collection as we unify Microsoft 365 video tools under the Clipchamp brand. Learn more in this announcement.
Stream lets you feature your video content in your intranet and teams by using SharePoint modern web parts, pages, sites, portals, Teams, and Viva Connections. This works with video files that are stored in SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, and Viva Engage. By using SharePoint, Viva Connections, and Teams you can weave customized video experiences throughout your intranet, team, and department collaboration areas alongside other content.

Historically, video within organizations was often stored in a single video portal, which was mostly used as a hosting service. People would upload a video to the video portal, grab the link to the file, and then send direct links to their viewers or embed the video into other destinations. Video portals were standalone destinations and not integrated with an organization's intranet or team collaboration workflows.
With Stream (built on SharePoint), we're changing that pattern. We're improving video experiences across Microsoft 365 and enabling videos to be another content type that is managed, organized, and featured alongside all your other news, document, and file content. In addition, where video differs from other content types we make sure to allow video-specific scenarios and capabilities to be showcased.
As you get started thinking about how to feature videos within your organization, here are several resources to help you:

Featuring videos & creating video destinations
Following are the basic building blocks and some examples of how you can build your own video experiences on top of SharePoint and Microsoft Viva. In the future, we make setup easier by weaving video experiences into SharePoint site templates and even look at creating a "video portal" site template. Adding video into site templates in the future avoids having to build video experiences from scratch.
