Set Storage Quota for Office 365 Video Channels using CSV
In our previous blog, we dealt with how to get the storage used in all Office 365 Video Channels. Since an Office 365 Video Channel is a SPO site collection, its storage limit is same as SPO site collection, i.e., 1 TB per channel and it is limited by the total amount available in the SharePoint Online tenant. So in this blog we share the steps to limit the storage used by videos uploaded to Office 365 channels by setting Storage Quota via CSV file using PowerShell.
Before starting the process, download and install - SharePoint Online Management Shell from this link and SharePoint Online CSOM from this link. Then execute the script in PowerShell (with Run as Administrator privilege) by connecting to SharePoint Online as Global administrator. Also ensure that the SharePoint online setting “Site Collection Storage Management” is set as Manual.
