How to stream video and watch together on MS Teams without sharing the screen?

Question

Hello everyone
Can someone let me know how to stream videos and watch them together on MS Teams without screen sharing?
I want my team to join the Teams conference call and watch the video together? -Maybe it's similar to watching a movie online together. This can be achieved by screen sharing, but the quality of the video and audio in the screen sharing session is not so comforting. It's broken and doesn't look good.

With respect, Agnes

Hi,

I wouldn't suggest this for a full movie (!) However you can embedd a movie into PowerPoint (typically this would be as part of a presentation), then upload the PowerPoint to Teams. All viewers can then stream it directly.

However be aware that participants can browse around the ppt independently...
