Quick Tip: Search for video and New Stream Recordings

In the upcoming change for New Stream, meeting recordings are now stored in OneDrive and SharePoint, I started to wonder if people would have issues finding videos as new content is added – this post will go through how to find the video content within your tenant using Modern Search. Remember, Search is security trimmed, so if you don’t have access, it will not appear in the results.
