This guide will provide you with the steps to add a co-owner to your Microsoft Stream (Classic) videos. This is recommended when the uploader is not the only one who should be able to administer the videos (e.g., a TA records content for a course).
- For guidance on downloading videos from Stream (Classic), see our guide: How to download videos from Microsoft Stream (Classic).
- For guidance on uploading videos to Stream (on Sharepoint), see our guide: How to upload videos to Stream (on SharePoint).
Microsoft has rolled out an improved and modernized version of Stream. As part of the transition, Microsoft Stream (Classic) was retired for the University of Toronto on May 6, 2024. As of this date, you no longer have access to videos on Microsoft Stream (Classic).
For details and FAQ about this transition, please visit the U of T Stream Classic Retirement page.
