Retirement of Microsoft Stream (Classic)
Microsoft will be retiring Stream (Classic) on April 15, 2024 as part of a transition to Stream (on Sharepoint).

How do I know what videos are impacted?
To determine which videos are hosted by Stream (Classic), first launch Stream in Microsoft365 online by visiting m365.uky.edu and clicking into the Stream app. In the top right corner you will see a link to Stream (Classic). After clicking the Stream (Classic) link, click "My Content" and "Videos" in the top navigation.

How do I migrate the videos I wish to keep?
UK ITS asks that customers only migrate videos that are still needed for consideration of storage utilization. There are two options available to migrate videos.
- Download & Upload to Another Location. Step-by-step instructions are available in the Stream Migration article from the Tech Help Center.
