Microsoft Stream: Video reactions

🚨 The Signal: Microsoft Stream now allows users to add reactions to specific video points. Video owners can disable this feature and view analytics, impacting content governance and user engagement tracking.

The Impact

Content owners and security teams are affected by new user-generated content and potential for inappropriate reactions.

• Content owners: Risk of inappropriate reactions on videos.
• Security teams: Need to consider content moderation policies for reactions.
• Compliance teams: New data points for information governance and retention.
• End users: New way to interact, but also new vector for misuse.

The Action

1. Review existing content moderation policies for user-generated reactions.
2. Communicate to video owners the ability to disable reactions on their content.
3. Consider if Stream reaction data needs to be included in information governance and retention policies.
4. Educate users on appropriate use of video reactions.
