Storage
Microsoft Stream (Classic) included a base amount of storage. A Microsoft Stream (Classic) tenant received a fixed allocation of 500 GB of storage and an extra 0.5 GB of storage per licensed user* as illustrated in the following table. For more information about how to purchase the separate storage add-on, see Microsoft Stream (Classic) Storage add-on.
Microsoft 365 Enterprise K1/F1 users aren't included and don't contribute to extra storage quota.
Note
Stream (on SharePoint) will not have the above storage allocation. Stream (on SharePoint) is storing your videos directly in SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive and thus the storage space from those services is consumed with videos stored there. See the the FAQ on storage for more information.
