MI Streamnet
What is MI Streamnet?
MI Streamnet is a free, non-commercial video hosting platform for Michigan educators, provided by the REMC Association of Michigan and hosted on the Eduvision platform.
Who is this designed for?
MI Streamnet is designed for anyone in the education space who wants a safe home for video content without the advertising, inappropriate content, or privacy concerns of YouTube and other commercial sites. It can be used for district/school communications, educational content for teachers, training videos, online courses, and even class work. Teachers have the ability to pre-approve any student video they wish to have uploaded on the site.
How can educators benefit from using mi Streamnet?
In addition to being a non-commercial platform with vetted content safe for the educational environment, MI Streamnet has some unique features that allow educators to add quizzes to videos, control access to videos, and let multiple staff members (or students) post to one moderated channel. Unlike large online platforms, personal support and training is also available from your local REMC Director, MI Streamnet project lead, and even the Eduvision development team.

Testimonials from Mi Streamnet users
I love using MI Streamnet to create .SRT files to create captions for social videos. It makes it easy to edit and to share with other colleagues.
~ Amanda Morton, Ottawa Area ISD Communications/Integrated Marketing
Using MI Streamnet to close caption my videos has been a game-changer. The accuracy is impressive, with only minor edits needed, saving me a lot of time. The process is smooth, and the captions are ready for review quickly after uploading. I appreciate the secure, vetted repository, which makes it easier for educators like me to access and share content. It's clear that MI Streamnet is designed by educators for educators, and it truly enhances accessibility for our users.
