Microsoft Stream lets you watch and share videos across your organisation. It’s particularly helpful for training purposes because everyone can access the same media from different locations.

What makes Stream different from other platforms like Zoom and Skype? It prioritises seamless collaboration with features like chapters and transcript search, noise suppression and speed controls.
