<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">Hello all.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">Have any of your libraries, colleges, or universities adopted Microsoft Stream for videostreaming?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">We are thinking of replacing our in-house platform -- developed by our college’s IT department some years ago, but which no longer meets our needs (e.g. doesn’t work on Apple devices nor on mobile
devices generally, not up to accessibility standards, etc.) -- with MS Stream, a cloud-based platform (https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-stream).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">One issue is that while it would be fine for college-produced/self-produced videos, we (the library at the college) also license a number of video titles with third-party video distributors. Some
of those vendors’ licences specify things like, “</span><i>Licensee may stream the Program from Licensee's owned server via user name and password-protected intranet only</i><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">” (the ‘Licensee’s owned server’ bit seems
like a ‘no’ then to MS Stream), or, “</span><i>Hosting to be done by the college itself - not by any other 3rd party</i><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">” (Is MS Stream considered a ‘3rd party’ or merely the software we are using in-house?). Yes,
we recognize we will have to have this discussion with each vendor, and that they may likely want us to use their own platform (something we already do in some cases but which means for our users/patrons multiple platforms, multiple access points and maintenance,
etc.).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif">If you’re already using MS Stream or any other cloud-based system for videos, how did you broach this topic with your film vendors … if at all?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Lato",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
