If you have users uploading videos into Microsoft Stream, you may have occasion to edit these as an administrator for some reason. You can easily do that from your own administration console by simply searching for the user’s video and then select the ellipse (three dots) to the right of the video, as shown above.

This should display a menu with the option Edit in admin mode, which you then select.

You should then see all the same settings as the user would see when they edit their video. However, you’ll also notice the big banner across the top of the page letting you know you are in Admin mode.

You can also to Admin mode by viewing the video and selecting the Settings Cog in the lower right. From the menu that appears you can select View in admin mode.

You can then select the option to again Edit in admin mode as shown above.

If you are a Microsoft Stream administrator (and by default global tenant Microsoft 365 administrators are), then you can select the Cog in the top right of the Stream page and then select Admin settings as shown above.

Then on the left hand side you’ll be able to select Usage details under the Manage Stream heading. This will then show you a report of how much data your videos are currently consuming. When your organization purchased Microsoft Stream, you received 500 GB of base storage and an additional 0.5 GB of storage per licensed user. If you need additional storage for your Stream content, you can purchase one or more 500 GB storage add-ons.

You can also select the Recycle bin option, also on the left, to recover any videos that have been deleted for 30 days.

There are plenty more administration options inside the Stream admin area, so go and check them out!
