Chat with a Video

CBS News: Here are six notable passages from former President Barack Obama's keynote address Tuesday night, Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention 2024: The YouTube video isn't long. It's just 13:23 minutes long. In it, Barak Obama criticizes Donald Trump's presidency and highlights concerns about his approach to governing.

Because the video is on YouTube, it would also have been an option to use the ChatGPT for YouTube app to chat with the video.

But what if it's about internal company videos or videos with confidential content that you don't want to upload to YouTube - then the combination of Microsoft Stream & Copilot in M365 is a solution for working with a video using genAI technology.

Step by step

Once the video has been uploaded to Stream, the transcription will start automatically.

Once this has been completed, prompts such as the following can be used:

• Summarize the video
• List the action items

Or, even though the video is in English, prompts like:

• Fasse zusammen, was über Donald Trump gesagt wird (eng: Summarize what is said about Donald Trump)

Of course you can also watch the whole video, which in this case is only 13 minutes long, and answer the questions yourself.

At the end of the day, the solution of uploading videos to Stream and then using Copilot to work with the videos is what the article A Smart Approach to AI means with the point “A key insight is that AI helps minimize monotonous tasks so that employees can focus on more important and essential activities”.
