Video is becoming vital for company to distribute content & knowledge
Video is becoming a requirement
Helping your employees learn requires video moving forward
The Modern Intranet is intelligent as it is powered by the Office Graph. It is social as it integrates with Yammer and other Office 365 social gestures (i.e. Like, Favorite, Boards). It is mobile based on native responsive design built into each new page and experiences, plus Microsoft is delivering new apps across devices to access the content while workers are on the go. And finally some of the new experiences are ready-to-go without much development or deployment costs associated; we, too, are working to help you accelerate the development of custom components and optimizing the build and lifecycle of custom components – more on this later.
The Modern Intranet is deeply connected to numerous other services like Delve and the Office Graph, OneDrive for Business, email, and more… all wrapped in a consistent, friendly user experience.
Here’s a look at the first to have been released
Think of it as YouTube for the enterprise
There’s a companion iPhone app for mobile viewing as well as uploading video to the portal
O365 video is built with channels
Settings can be updated at the portal level or the channel level
Each tenant gets 1 video portal
On by default when sku is active
This will show/hide the tile through the SP admin center
Accessing video
Finding videos
Playing videos
A lot of the world has smart phones and recording high quality video is becoming easier for everyone
Basic value of using Office 365 Video for iPhone app.
Several screenshots of various capabilities of Office 365 Video for iPhone.
Majority all now HTML5
Adaptive streaming every 2 seconds
Permissions are done via channels and not at the file level
Trending videos are security trimmed in search
Everything is encrypted at rest and in transit
Videos are decrypted on the fly
When you or someone in your organization uploads a new video, that video is transcoded, encrypted with AES-128 encryption, and stored in Azure Media Services. This means the videos are encrypted both in transit and at rest.
When someone in your organization attempts to watch a new video, they follow these steps:
Ask SharePoint Online if they have permission to view the video.
SharePoint Online uses the file permissions to determine if the person can watch the video.
If they’re allowed, SharePoint Online retrieves a token from Azure to give to the video player.
The video player then uses the token to request the decryption key from Azure.
With the decryption key in hand, the video player is able to stream the video.
Here are some common use cases
Channels let you categorize and secure your video content
Recent update enables embedding video anywhere in SharePoint Online
Concurrency uses this for hosing our monthly meeting recordings
A video admin in Office 365 Video controls who has membership in the two types of Office 365 Video admin groups:
Video admins. A user or security group that has video admin permission can perform the procedures described in this article. Global tenant admins for your organization have video admin permission by default.
Channel admins. A user or security group that has channel admin permission can create new channels. By default, everyone in your organization has channel admin permission, but a video admin can change this so that only certain people have channel admin permission.
Important A channel admin does not necessarily have edit permission or view permission for any particular channel. The creator of a channel has edit permission for the channel and can give edit permission for that channel to other people. For example, if user A and user B are both channel admins, and user A creates a channel, user A (and whoever else user A gives channel edit permission to for that channel) controls whether user B has edit permission or view permission for that channel.
You can choose videos and channels to spotlight on your Office 365 Video portal home page. You can spotlight up to five videos and three channels on the portal home page.
Note Make sure that the videos that you select to spotlight on your portal home page can be viewed by everyone in your organization. You do this by picking videos from channels that everyone has channel view permission for. If a video that you select to spotlight can't be viewed by everyone, the spotlight tile on the portal home page might appear empty.
you can see storage metrics per channel
Flash will trigger a “view” when embedded even if video doesn’t load for MSE extensions
Not available in on-premises but with cloud hybrid search content can be viewed via search results on-premises, can be included in extensible app launcher
A lot of these have come out very recently
MS is rolling out new features all the time, follow the O365 roadmap to know whats next

Key areas to view videos within the portal
I did not make this slide. I don’t know who the other people are standing with Professor Xavier.
Have been rolling out for several months with new ones in the pipeline
Purpose is to provide pre-packaged solutions
Anyone remember the old Productivity Hub? Next Gen Portals are similar in concept but with much better execution
Currently there are 2: Video and Delve People
Future will be InfoPedia, custom portals, most likely others (tasks???)
Why is this better than other solutions
These are common questions heard by Microsoft as well as by us from our clients
Bring mobility, any time, any where, any device to the Intranet
Consume robust, available services
Combine all workloads
Connect disparate information sources
Get going fast
Here are some common Intranet / Portal use cases
Most if not all of these require significant time & expense to create
Some of these are already ready-to-go next-gen portals… some will be in the future, some may or may not be
The video portal is a site collection under /portals/hub
Each channel is a site collection that is viewable in the sharepoint admin center under /portals/ managed path
New content type of “cloud video” is used on the video asset library on the channel site collection
When you upload content into an Office 365 Video channel, you are first uploading the video file into SharePoint Online, to be stored and calculated against your available pooled storage. The service then sends a copy over to Azure Media Services to be transcoded into multiple formats to enable adaptive smooth streaming playback across your devices and Web browsers, and then further distributed to our Content Distribution Network (CDN) for optimal playback around the globe. You are not charged for Azure storage or playback compute. The videos are isolated and encrypted both at rest and in transit in all locations for storage and playback - from service to device. Only authenticated employees of your organization will have access to the videos.
Beyond the Office 365 Video portal, it is then easy to share via email, post to Yammer, and every video is fed into the Office Graph and will surface via Delve as relevant new content based on people and content the individual is most closely interacting with.
