You can now create short screen recordings of up to 15 minutes in Microsoft Stream without any additional software. This new screen recording feature is now rolling out to customers. Microsoft mentioned that more features like editing capabilities will be coming soon.

Here’s how it works:

  • Just open the latest version of Edge or Chrome and your Stream portal then, from the Create dropdown list, select Record screen.
  • Video creators can use options to record any window or screen, add mic or system audio, and include webcam for a personal touch.
