The past few years have reminded us how motivating and engaging video-based learning experiences are for students. In a recent survey, 75% of school staff<\/a> now say that video captures students\u2019 attention more than text-based content and results in more interaction with course materials. More interestingly, nearly 94% of educators<\/a> report increased student performance and satisfaction when video is included in learning activities. These findings make sense in the context of students\u2019 lives\u2013 YouTube is used by 95% of 13 to 17-years-olds<\/a>, and about 1 in 5 teens visit the platform \u201calmost constantly\u201d according to the Pew Research Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schools need secure video distribution solutions that maintain student privacy and prevent unauthorized sharing in order to capitalize on video\u2019s engaging qualities. Educators also need video features that enhance learning and make content more accessible. Analysis from Security Solution Guide: Maximizing Private Video Servers in K-12 Education<\/a> found that Microsoft Stream provides greater security and more resources than competing video sharing services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Stream is the ideal choice for schools who value security and want feature-rich, convenient video distribution solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Microsoft Stream<\/a> is an intelligent enterprise video platform that\u2019s available in all Microsoft 365 Education plans<\/a>. Stream offers the features that people expect from a video server. It\u2019s easy to play a video, skip around, and adjust the playback speed. Saving is even simpler because of Stream\u2019s integration within Microsoft 365: Just upload a video file to Teams<\/a>, OneDrive<\/a>, or SharePoint<\/a> and the file is ready to be securely shared or embedded from the Stream start page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stream sits alongside applications like Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook in the Apps dashboard\u2013an intentional placement that makes Stream\u2019s private video server capabilities an integral part of whatever lesson, project, or activity might be happening. Instead of being a siloed solution that is separate from other tools, Stream lives where schools work and learn already\u2013right next to Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and Excel spreadsheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using Microsoft Stream for secure video sharing in the classroom saves planning time for educators because they don\u2019t have to switch back-and-forth between a video hosting service and the applications where the video is displayed. Plus, storage amounts vary according to each Microsoft 365 Education plan which often means schools have more space to save videos than they realize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad actors target schools because they have vulnerabilities that are easily exploited. Microsoft Stream delivers advanced cybersecurity protection<\/a> for all types of videos including those with personally identifiable information (PII).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
