User impact: Users may be unable to download shared videos from the Stream player while granted View access.
More info: Specifically, the download button may not be visible to users with View access. This issue affects shared videos hosted in either SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business.
Current status: We’re continuing our development of the previously mentioned fix to restore visibility of the download button for users with View access and remediate this issue. We anticipate that we’ll have completed development and begun deploying the fix to the impacted service environment by our next scheduled update, at which time we’re aiming to provide a timeline for full deployment and remediation.
Scope of impact: This issue may affect any user viewing a video in the Stream player that was shared from SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business with View access granted.
