Modify permissions for your Microsoft Stream video

Microsoft Stream videos can appear automatically among your videos, such as from a recorded Microsoft Teams meeting. Or video files can be added manually via uploads from your device. As the owner of your videos, you control the permissions for watching (and modifying) your videos.

  • Microsoft Stream videos currently cannot be publicly shared for viewing.
  • You can set the video permissions to be viewed by anyone with a Marquette account. Microsoft Stream calls this "companywide access" and "Allow everyone in your company to view this video."
  • Or you can limit the video viewing permissions to a Microsoft Teams site.


Follow these steps to check permissions on videos you own and change them if needed.

  1. Go to office.com. If you haven't recently logged in to Office 365, you may be prompted to sign in.

Changing a Marquette-wide (companywide) video to a limited access video

    In the row of a companywide video, click or tap the pencil icon to update video permissions.

    Edit video details

  2. The video details page appears. In the center column are the video permissions. Uncheck "Allow everyone in your company to view this video."

  4. The "Allow everyone in your company to view this video" option is now unchecked — but is not applied/saved yet.
