I can’t watch Stream videos.

If you are unable to view videos on Stream, the solution depends on the cause. Please click on the link below according to your problem.

In some cases, using InPrivate (Edge) or Secret Window (Chrome) in your browser may solve the problem, or deleting cookies in your browser may work. However, this will also clear your login status to other sites.

“Authenticated user does not have permission to access this resource.”
“This is not available – it seems that you are not authorized to watch this video.”

It is assumed that access is restricted on Stream and that the settings to allow access have not been properly configured.
Access to Stream is restricted in a way that allows access to group members, and registration to groups is done by the faculty member.
Immediately after course registration, there is a possibility that the group registration process is not completed in time, or even if it is completed, it may take some time for it to be reflected in the system.
If a faculty member has given you a URL to join a group, please use that URL to apply to join the group. It will take some time because you will not be registered to the group until the faculty member approves.
If there is no such indication, the faculty member will register you again based on the course roster. Therefore, please inform the faculty member that you cannot refer to the video.

“Video not found.”

What should I care about when creating a team on Microsoft Teams?

A team with the privacy set to “public” allows all the Univ. members to access your messages/files post/uploaded to it. To enhanced security, all public teams will be set to “private” by system administrator,　unless you name it end by “-public” to assert that it is “public” on purpose.

How will the treatment of team members on Teams who have graduated, completed, or retired?

Those who are no longer members of the University due to graduation, completion, retirement, etc. cannot use the University’s Microsoft 365 services.
The accounts are deleted after a certain period from graduation, completion, or retirement.
(The accounts of part-time employees who are rehired after their term of employment are also deleted after a certain period whenever they retire.)

When an account is deleted, it will be deleted from the teams it belonged to as well.　However, what it had post to these teams remain.

Therefore, the team owner needs to take the following actions.

【Notes】

  • If rehired
    • The account may be available if there is a short period before rehiring. (To find out if the account is available, please contact the center by themself using the contact form.)
    • Even a user who signs up for a new account with the same name and description as their previously deleted one is treated as a new user and needs to be added to the team again.
      (If “問題が発生しました(something wrong…)” and it fails to add the account to the teams it used to be member, please take a break before do it again.)
    • Due to the caching feature, some tools may keep the deleted usernames for a while.

※The above is based on Microsoft’s response as of November 2021.
