Move Videos from Stream Classic into OneDrive or Canvas

Microsoft Stream Classic will be decommissioned by Microsoft on April 15th, 2024. After that time, users will only be able to use the new Stream for Sharepoint, which is integrated with other M365 products. Stream for Sharepoint requires videos be stored in OneDrive. 

Illinois State University will be migrating all videos from Stream Classic into ISU users' OneDrive accounts beginning on March 25th, 2024, until complete. Users do not need to take any action; the migration will be managed by ISU IT Staff.


However, if you would like to manually move your videos from Stream Classic into OneDrive and/or Canvas Studio proactively, please follow the instructions below.
