Share a Stream video inside a Microsoft Teams meeting
Would love to share a Stream video inside a Microsoft Teams meeting. Have customers with training use cases to show small videos with audio inside a Teams meeting. Faking a web camera thru software creates audio synchronization issues and the shared desktop doesn't provide for the desktop audio like Zoom does it.

This essential feature is still missing...
Hard to believe as literally everyone I produced Teams Live Events or Teams Meetings for, asked to share video...
How long do we have to wait for it...?

This is vital functionality - would be great if you'd consider other popular video hosting sites like YouTube and Vimeo as well.

please enable this feature! it's all we need to run our events with video streaming, otherwise we will keep on using other services to do web events (Zoom, GoToWebinar, Webex...) they all allow off-the-cloud streaming (with different video quality levels)

should by a chance all read from a source on the internet (download from de youtube HD) and not all "drink" from the same participante in the meeting (up load from homenet with less capacity)!

Big issue, even in 2021. We came from Zoom to improve. It is a major disadvantage compare to Zoom. We need videos for training purposes.

Sharing a streamed video inside Microsoft Teams meeting would reduce the network upload compared by sharing a local screen hosting the video.

that's definetively a feature we need!
sharing a video application is often something strictly related to network performances.
Moreover when start sharing you have to remember to share the computer audio, it slows down all the meeting dynamics. -

How is this not possible yet? Such a vital function. Teams really has to keep up with the game...

We were able to organize a live meeting using OBS as a broadcasting software. IT was don through "share screen" - sharing an OBS output.
what we noticed is that in the morning (European time) the video went through smoothly - almost not lag time.
In the after noon (I assume when the whole western hemisphere start using Teams) the video quality went down dramatically. It was really really bad.
I want to use Teams meeting and not Live stream, since I want to have a live discussion afterwards. That means voice not chat.Does anyone know how to keep video quality good at all times?
I think this is a major issue of Teams that they do not support good video quality if used via 'share' function. If only participant camera...than probably OK.This is the major drawback of our experience...which will will probably lead us to switch from Teams to something else.
Is Zoom better in that manner? -

This is a critical need. ****** video screen shares just don't cut it. It should literally be a button that says, "Share a Stream video", which then takes you to your channel/group/content/whatever. It's sad that this isn't a priority now.

I'm very for this especially since everyone is WFH. We need to be able to share video without it turning into a laggy, framy, ****** slideshow.

Definitely needed, ideally it would support broadcasting yahoo videos with sound also, I have been able to play/share these but no sound.

The system audio options really needs to be added to the Mac version of Teams.

Broadcasting videos in Teams would be extremely useful!
Share your screen with a presentation and switch to a video with just one click! -

Broadcasting video from stream in Team would be extremely useful, like Webex and Zoom does.

Broadcasting video from stream (and other sources) in Team Meetings would be extremely useful to us.
