Common MS Stream Issues for Students
The actions here may be able to alleviate issues accessing embedded videos that are hosted on either Classic Stream, or the L&T Video Repository.
Most issues accessing videos appears to be related to conflicting Microsoft 365 accounts that you may be logged into.
We recommend that you try these actions in order.
Try via Private Window / Incognito Mode
Try viewing the Myplace via a Private Window / Incognito Mode window. This will normally not have any other login sessions started.
If this works, then it indicates a conflict between Office 365 Accounts.
Log in to Office 365 with University credentials
Make sure you are logged in to Office 365 with your University credentials. You can do this in several ways:
Office 365 homepage: https://www.office.com/
Outlook: https://outlook.office365.com/
Stream: https://web.microsoftstream.com/
You must be logged in with your university credentials rather than a personal account.
