Stream Classic: Making Videos ADA Compliant

Important Note: Microsoft Stream Classic is retiring and being replaced by Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint).

SVSU ITS will migrate Steam Classic videos from the last two years to Microsoft Stream (on SharePoint). 
Videos that have been embedded on pages, or links to videos shared to Canvas, mySVSU, etc. will continue to work until February 15, 2025. However, you should update the links now to avoid disruptions later. Content created within other O365 apps (Teams, OneDrive, Yammer) are all accessible and stored in the new Stream on SharePoint.  Alternatively, did you know that all media that you own or that has been shared with you can be accessed at portal.office.com
