M365 Changelog: (Updated) Stream video recordings in Outlook

MC690606 – Updated April 2, 2024: Microsoft has 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: Microsoft will begin rolling in mid-June 2024 (previously mid-February) and expects to complete by mid-September 2024 (previously mid-May).

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.

Review:

• Embed and play back videos in Outlook and Loop
