About Microsoft Stream

What's Stream?

Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint) lets you store and share videos with the Marquette community.

Your Microsoft 365 Stream homepage appears. In the upper-left side of the webpage, click or tap the Upload tile.
From your device, go to your video and select it for upload.
Stream processes the video and then shows a Stream webpage with the video.

Closed captions give viewers a more accessible video experience. Follow these steps to have Stream create automatic captions for your video.
