Are my recordings deleted?

No, the videos originally stored in Stream (Classic) by an individual user was migrated to the owner's OneDrive under My Files in a folder titled, "Stream Migrated Videos." 

How do I share my videos with students?

We encourage all Stream (Classic) users to update any locations that contain embedded video links from Stream Classic that were shared (e.g. Canvas, SharePoint pages, etc.).  

How do I update links to my recordings?

The easiest and recommended solution is to store your recordings in EchoVideo Lecture Capture. The system allows you to record/Live Stream anywhere, upload existing media, reuse media, manage and edit your recordings including sharing with others. Instructors can use interactive elements to engage students in a variety of ways and can track usage Analytics. All media embedded will import successfully to other Canvas courses.
