Story Remix on Windows 10 Redstone 3 Build 16193 Walk-through Video

Yesterday I gave you a quick look at two videos I created using the new Story Remix functionality that is part of the Microsoft Photos app in Windows 10 Redstone 3 Build 16193 that is currently being tested by Windows Insiders.

This version of Story Remix is integrated into the Photos app itself and while we do not know if it will eventually get its own separate app or continue to be part of Photos, we can go ahead and start tinkering with the limited features that have been made public at this point.

By the way, it seems only some Windows Insiders have received Photos update that enables Story Remix. While I recommend checking for updates or waiting for the functionality to be available on your device, here is a quick way to visually tell whether you have it available.

First, as you open the Photos app you can see a difference very quickly:

Photos App with Story Remix Features Enabled

Photos App without Story Remix Features Enabled

You can also compare the Settings>About pages for the apps build numbers and you will find they match except for one small detail:

As you can see the app which has the Story Remix features enabled has the extra text of Build 2017 as part of the build number.

Microsoft has stated they are working to get Story Remix to all Windows Insiders but in the interim join me for a quick intro to the app in this walk-through video:

But, wait...there's probably more so be sure to follow me on Twitter and Google+.

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
