explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you have a universal remote control that can operate different brands of TVs. Previously, this remote could only control certain TV brands, but now it has been updated to work with more brands, including some high-end ones. In the world of video streaming, Microsoft Stream has received a similar update.
Users can now play videos that are encoded in the Apple ProRes video codec on platforms like OneDrive and SharePoint. Think of video codecs as different languages that videos speak. Apple ProRes is like a specialized language used by high-quality video content, often preferred by professionals for its superior quality and editing flexibility.
Before this update, if you had a video in the Apple ProRes format, it was like having a book written in a language that your device couldn't read. You would need to translate it into a more common language (or codec) before your device could understand it. Now, with this update, Microsoft Stream can directly "read" this new language, allowing you to play these high-quality videos without needing to convert them first.
This change means that whether you're using a web browser, an Android device, or an iOS device, you can seamlessly view these high-quality videos on OneDrive and SharePoint. It's like having that universal remote that can now control even more TV brands, making your viewing experience smoother and more versatile.
