• Video view statistics
• Spotlight channels on homepage

14. What are the migration steps?
Prepare
• Make sure that your users
are ready for the change
over from O365 Video to
Stream and that they
understand the differences.
• Any O365 Video channels
will show up in Stream under
“Groups” (not channels). The
Group concept in Stream
matches what you could do
at the Channel level in O365
Video.
• Users won’t have to update
any links or embed codes,
those will automatically
redirect to the new content
in Stream after the migration
is finalized.
Initiate migration
• As an admin of O365 Video,
when your tenant is eligible
to migrate, you can click the
banner at the top of O365
Video to go to the migration
wizard.
• Step through the process
and click the “Start
migration” button to kick off
the migration
You have 30 Days to
complete the migration.
We cannot migrate channel
by channel. The migration is
run for all content in O365
Video.
During the migration
• We'll send you an email
when the initial copy of data
is complete, and you and
others can validate what was
migrated
• The migration shouldn’t take
too long but depending on
how many videos and
channels you have it could
take few days to finish the
copy

15. How do you verify the migration
before it’s finalized?
• Only the Stream admins and users on the migration
reviewer list will see the migrated content in its read-only
state in Stream before the migration is finalized.
• This will give that set of user’s time to verify everything
looked good and moved over correctly.

16. Verify migrated content in Steam
• All data is copied over from O365 Video to Stream and put in a hidden and read-only state
in Stream.
• Only the Stream admins and users you’ve added to be a reviewer of the migration will able
to see the read-only content in Stream.
• If you are already using Stream in parallel with O365 Video, users in Stream will continue to
have access to Stream but will not be able to the see the migrated content.
• During this time any changes to O365 Video will be one way synced into Stream.
• You’ll have up to 60 days to review and verify your migration and make sure everything
moved over properly.
• Have key content owners verify that everything looks good in Stream.
• If you notice something missing, incorrect, or wrong please open a support ticket and our
support team will help track down the issue.

17. Validation for Videos
• The videos from O365 Video showed up in Stream
• The title & descriptions are accurate
• Subtitles/closed captions are associated with the videos
in Stream
• When you edit the video permissions make sure it shows
the same permissions as Office 365 Video

18. Validation for Channels & Groups
• The O365 Video channels showed up as groups in Stream
• The videos inside the O365 Videos show up inside the corresponding group in
Stream
• The permissions set on the O365 Video channel got moved over to the Stream
group including individual users and AD security groups
• If the O365 Video channel had ''everyone except external users'' set as viewers of
the channel that the group settings in Stream has the group marked as a ''Public
group''
• If the O365 Video channel had ''everyone except external users'' set as editors of
the channel that the group settings in Stream is has the group marked as “Allow
everyone in the organization to contribute” to On.

19. Validation for Embed Codes and
Links
• The automatic redirection of O365 Video links and
embed codes won’t happen during the verification /
syncing step, this happens automatically after the
migration is finalized.
• During the verification step, you can test the
redirection by adding &redirect=true to the end of
an O365 Video link or embed code.

20. Before Migration

21. After Migration

22. Permissions Mapping Experience
A channel in Office
Video has 3 levels
of permissions –
Owner, Editors and
Viewers
The migrated
channel will have
the same Owners,
Editors and Viewers
once moved over.

23. What Are “Stream Only” Groups?
''Stream only'' groups are a new concept
which was introduced with the migration
from Office 365 Video to Stream. These
groups live within Stream only and are not
tied to Office 365 groups.
'Stream only'' groups do not generate
a team site in SharePoint, a plan in
Planner, a team in Teams, or a group
in Yammer, etc.O365.

24. Stream Groups
Once we go-live with
the migration to
Stream, you can move
content out from these.
''Stream only'' groups
to other Office 365
Groups in Stream if you
want to re-organize
content in Stream

25. Can we create Stream-Only Groups
• At this point, you cannot create a “Stream only” group
from Microsoft Stream portal. The only way these kinds
of groups can be created is via the migration from O365
Video. We are thinking about bringing this capability to
Stream to allow a user to create a “Stream only” group or
an Office 365 group but we don’t have a definite timeline
on when this feature will be available.
