MC690606Stream video recordings in Outlook

Updated September 10, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

We're introducing the ability to record and insert Stream video recordings in Outlook on the web and the new Outlook for Windows. 

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 185369

When this will happen:

Standard Release: We will begin rolling in late October 2024 (previously late August) and expect to complete by late November 2024 (previously late September).

How this will affect your organization:

Soon you will be able to record a video of yourself, your screen or both, directly from Outlook and insert the recording in your email.

What you need to do to prepare:

A new policy controls the ability to record Stream videos, including webcam and screen recordings, within supported applications.

The policy specifically applies to Outlook on the Web, the new Outlook for Windows, and the Loop application.

If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, users can record themselves and/or their screen, enabling them to create Stream videos within the supported Microsoft 365 applications.

If you disable this policy setting, users can’t record and create Stream videos within the supported Microsoft 365 applications.

Note: This policy setting is exclusive to Outlook on the Web, the new Outlook for Windows, and the Loop application. It does not apply to the Stream Web Application.
