MS Office 365 Video
-
Mine finished and now says processing. Sorry you are seeing that weirdness. Not sure what it could be. Try a different clip?
-
what is the name of the app on Windows phone? I don't see it, perhaps it's not enabled on my O365 account? or I don't know where to look?

Tried a different clip and being super short (3 seconds) uploaded completely differently. Waiting to see if the processing completes. So far, it has not.

@Dashrender sorry no win phone app. Login via browser. We have responsive pages so they look good on mobile.
-
Three second clip appears to have finished processing. Waiting for it to load here (Central America.)
Took a new fifteen second video in the app itself to see if that can upload. The taking, processing and uploading is all quite different when done through the app itself.
-
Yeah my 10 second clip finished processing and is playable now too in my test demo tenant in prod. I took the video in the app itself. I'll try picking one from my camera roll like you did originally and see if that has any issues that I can repro myself.
-
Doh!
-
Okay, got the three second clip working, had to move to Chrome since I have no Flash.
-
That 15 second clip that I took is still uploading but at a snail's pace. i wonder why the three second clip took like under ten seconds but after several minutes the fifteen second one is nowhere near halfway yet.

@scottalanmiller Here is our browser support matrix. Only need flash on certain OS/Browser combinations. For Chrome we use HTML5 and MSE to adaptively stream MPEG-DASH.
-
@scottalanmiller Not sure. We are built on top of SharePoint Online. So depending on how well uploads from your location to SPO works will determine how well uploaded videos into O365 Video work.
-
15 second clip still moving along. 82%. So far slow but much healthier than the 10 second native video was.
-
15 second clip has finished and is now processing (I assume.)

Anyone know the limits, features, how to use it, security, etc.?
While I'm here.. any specific questions? Or want me to just do a quick sales pitch/brain dump/expose our ugly warts?
-
Ha ha, go for it.
One question I have is... where does the storage go? I mean, is this going against our standard pool of shared storage on SharePoint? Does it go towards the usage limits on OneDrive? Is it separate?
-
If I make a channel and grant permissions on it to "Everyone" can I actually share the videos publicly to the outside world?

So O365 Video is built on top of SharePoint Online and Azure Media Services.
The original video file you upload gets stored in hidden site collection for the "channel". So that original file counts against your normal site collection / team site storage. It does NOT go against OneDrive for Business limits.
The transcoded copies we make in AMS are free, you don't pay for their storage.
In fact you get O365 Video for free as part of the E1-4 or A1-4 liscenses. All you have to pay for is the storage of the original file against your tenant quota in SPO.

No we don't support "External sharing" or "anonymous" video yet. We want to eventually do both. External sharing is easier for us to do. I just have to convince our Business/Finance folks that we won't break the bank with allowing people not paying liscenses to upload and stream videos.
O365 Video costs quite a bit for us to run so we are hesitant in the beginning here on opening up too wide. I'm actively working on the cost models with business/finance to make it so we can open up to broader user base.
-
Okay the fifteen second clip is now working from having been uploaded from inside of the app and having been processed . Seems to be working now.
Thanks for your help, Marc!

@Marc Anonymous video would be really cool and lots of folks ask for it. We'd likely have to do it as an add-on with a streaming quota limit. That way we don't pay the full bill if a video goes viral.
