Microsoft Stream Playlists

I share in this post my first learnings about Microsoft Stream Playlist new feature.

Best Practice

Naming with Playlist as Prefix because Playlists are simple SharePoint Lists and can not be structured (see wish below)

How to sort order

The Microsoft Video embedded there Create Playlists in Microsoft 365 - YouTube is not that great for explaining how to sort.

This one by Chad Kealy is much better: SharePoint/Microsoft Lists Playlist template - first look - YouTube https://youtu.be/PiLTVHCVrRg?t=547

This isn't well explained in the Microsoft Video.
You need to Edit the View and change the Sort configuration to sort by the column 'Order' as shown below.
Just sorting with the Column Header Down Arrow options as shown below 
won't reconfigure the View.

Missing Features/ Wishes

Fullscreen ->Playlist?

While playing a video in a Playlist in full screen, I want a button to jump to the next video in the Playlist from the Single Video Play view/ Full screen view. Currently the Full screen play view of a Video in a Playlist has no relation to the parent Playlist.

Embed

I would like also the ability to embed a Playlist. (Like for previous Stream Classic)

Playlist Structuring?

Unfortunately the Playlists are Lists in a SharePoint and located flat under the SharePoint root.
I couldn't find a way to move the Lists to a folder to Group them.

Error Move a Video

I couldn't move a meeting recording to another SharePoint.
To workaround I have created a copy.
