Does SharePoint support video streaming?

Question

I want to upload large videos in sharepoint document library and play it in media player webpart. Does it support streaming by default?

If not, Please let me know how to design such a solution.

Answer 1

Yes and No.

• There are issues with uploading large blobs in sharepoint (say 2gb limit), IIS timing out on you, network through-put, etc.

What I did: 1. Created a IIS directory for the folders where the videos are and made sure browse folder is enabled (in IIS) 2. Added a media webpart to a webpart page and supplied the weblink to the video to this webpart.
