WHY WOULD WE DO IT?
- For playing & sharing videos during the meeting
PREREQUISITES
Users need Teams and Stream licences – usually via Office/Microsoft 365.
HOW
1.) Join the meeting via the Teams Calendar, through Outlook or Meet Now
2.) Select the Share icon (Square with Up Arrow) on the meeting controls bar
3.) Select Desktop
4.) Hover to the top of the screen to the sharing controls. Shared System Audio is the small scren icon with the strikethrough to right meaning it is set to off by default. Clicking on it will remove the strikethrough and set it to on
5.) Video can be played through Stream if this has been added as an app to the app bar (see using Teams and Stream for personalised video watchlists)
6.) Video can be played through a Stream Channel if this has been added as a tab to the Team (see setting up a video channel for the Team)
7.) Video can be played through the YouTube App
8.) Video can be played through a Website App (Note: switched out to my home tenant as had an app permissions policy setup in the test tenant)
9.) Video can even be played embedded in PowerPoint!

Final Option (if connection is of concern) is to play through PowerPoint:
Depending on the version of PowerPoint that you're using, you can insert an embedded video (the default behavior) or link to a video file stored on your computer.
Inserting an embedded video is convenient, but it increases the size of your presentation.
A linked video keeps your presentation file smaller, but links can break. We recommend storing presentations and linked videos in the same folder.
Supported video formats
In PowerPoint 2016 and newer versions, we recommend that you use .mp4 files encoded with H.264 video (a.k.a. MPEG-4 AVC) and AAC audio.
For more details, see Video and audio file formats supported in PowerPoint.
Embed a video stored on your PC
Link to a video stored on your PC
To help prevent broken links, we recommend copying the video into the same folder as your presentation, and then linking to it there.
In Normal view, click the slide where you want the link to the video to be in.
On the Insert tab, click the arrow under Video, and then click Video on my PC.
In the Insert Video box, click the file that you want to link to, click the down arrow next to the Insert button, and then click Link to File.
PowerPoint 2016 and newer versions support the playback of video with multiple audio tracks. They also support closed captions and subtitles that are embedded in video files. For more information, see Make your PowerPoint presentations accessible.
Find out where a linked video is stored
If there's already a video on a slide and you want to know where it's stored, go to File > Info. Under Optimize Media Compatibility, there will be information about all media files in the presentation—whether they are linked or embedded in the file. If there are any linked videos, PowerPoint gives you a View Links hyperlink. Click it to open a dialog box that shows the storage location of any linked files.
YouTube video
If you want to insert a video on YouTube, switch to Insert or link to a video on YouTube.
Preview a video
When a video is selected on a slide, a toolbar appears below the video that has a play/pause button, a progress bar, incremental forward/backward buttons, a timer, and a volume control. Click the Play button at the left of that toolbar to preview the video.
Play a video automatically or when clicked
By default, in Slide Show, the video plays as part of the click sequence. That means that when you click anywhere on the slide to advance to the next step (or when you press the Spacebar, Right arrow key, or other key that advances to the next step) the video plays. This Start option is called In Click Sequence.
But if you prefer, you can make the video start automatically as soon as it appears onscreen, or make it play when it is clicked:
Select the video frame.
-
On the ribbon, on the Video Tools Playback tab, open the Start list and choose the option you prefer:
Option
Description
In Click Sequence
This is the default behavior, as described above. When you click anywhere on the slide to advance to the next step, the video plays.
Automatically
The video starts automatically.
(If there are animation steps before it, the animation steps will play first and then the video starts playing automatically. If there are no other animation steps before the video on the slide, the video begins playing immediately.)
When Clicked On
The video starts only when it has been clicked.
For more details about the options for playing the video in Slide Show, see Set the 'Play' options for a video.
