Microsoft Stream will allow users to add annotations, including hyperlinks and text callouts, to videos at specific times to make them more interactive. The feature will roll out in mid-January 2024 for targeted release and in mid-April 2024 for general availability. No action is required from users at this time.
Updated April 4, 2024: We will not be rolling out to our Government customers at this time and will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. We have updated the rollout timeline below for Worldwide. Thank you for your patience.
Make your video interactive and more engaging by adding annotations that can include hyperlinks and text. Call out important moments or share documents and other links to additional resources. You can add text and links anywhere in the video timeline to help guide your viewers to the right information. Viewers can use video timeline markers to navigate interactive content.
