Enable Microsoft Stream (Classic) for everyone in the organization

Warning

Microsoft Stream (Classic) is being retired and replaced by Stream (on SharePoint) and Microsoft Teams live events. It is recommended to start using Stream (on SharePoint) by uploading videos to SharePoint, Teams, Viva Engage, or OneDrive, and to run your live events through Teams and Viva Engage.

Functionality in Stream (Classic) will be changed and removed leading up to the retirement date. Learn more about Stream (on SharePoint)...

Employees of your organization can't use the Stream (Classic) service until their accounts have been licensed. You can assign Stream (Classic) licenses to them so each user does not have to manually sign up for the service. You must be a Microsoft 365 Global admin to assign licenses.

Learn more about how to assign licenses to users in Microsoft 365 so that users can access Stream.

For information on how to block Stream (Classic) for users, see Block users from using Stream.
