If you remember, the Microsoft Stream app for iOS and Android was modified for the transition to Stream on SharePoint in September 2022.
As Microsoft has announced, the Stream app will be removed from the app stores on July 1st, 2024, and will no longer be offered. Existing app installations will no longer receive updates.
As an alternative, Microsoft recommends using the OneDrive mobile app and Microsoft 365 mobile app. The OneDrive app will be supplemented with additional features for videos from Microsoft Stream in the future.
Microsoft also notes which features OneDrive Mobile and Microsoft 365 Mobile can take over in the announcement. It can be assumed that the table will be expanded by July:
- Favorites in Stream
Use the Microsoft 365 Mobile app. The app also includes favorites. - Access and manage videos
Use the OneDrive Mobile app. With the app, you can record, play, upload, and share videos. - Offline video access
Use the OneDrive Mobile app. The app supports downloading videos and playback without an internet connection. The OneDrive Mobile app still has limitations for videos with download restrictions. You cannot yet play this type of video in the OneDrive app.
When this change goes into effect, users will no longer be able to download videos where block download policy is enabled. These videos will need to be played online. Users will still be able to download and playback videos offline where block download policy is not enabled using the OneDrive mobile app.
