Embedding Stream Videos into Power Apps: A Quick Guide

In this quick tutorial, we at KeaPoint demonstrate how to seamlessly embed Stream videos into your Power Apps. This feature is currently in preview, so it requires an Early Access environment to function. Embedding videos can significantly enhance your app’s interactivity and user engagement by integrating multimedia content directly into the user interface.

We walk you through setting up an Early Access environment in Power Apps. This process is crucial as it enables the necessary preview features for embedding Stream videos. Once the environment is configured, creating a blank canvas app is straightforward. Within this app, you can insert a Stream video control from the media options available in the preview controls.

The key challenge addressed is obtaining the correct URL format for embedding Stream videos. Simply copying the shareable link from Stream results in an invalid URL error. Instead, the tutorial shows how to extract the correct URL from the video’s embed code. This method ensures the video displays correctly within your Power App.

By following this simple guide in the video below, you can effectively incorporate Stream videos into your apps, enhancing their functionality and user experience.
