Clipchamp for Microsoft 365: A Quick Overview

Clipchamp for work accounts is a powerful video editing and creation tool that offers an array of features designed to simplify the video content creation process. This tool is available to users with specific Microsoft 365 SKUs, including Microsoft 365 E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium. It’s a web-based application that runs smoothly on Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browsers.

Why Clipchamp on SharePoint Matters

The integration of Clipchamp with SharePoint is a significant step forward in enhancing the capabilities of Microsoft 365. Here’s why it matters:

1. Streamlined Workflow: With Clipchamp now integrated with SharePoint, users can seamlessly create and edit videos directly within their SharePoint environment. This means that all your video content can be stored, accessed, and edited without having to switch between different platforms or rely on third-party applications.
2. Enhanced Collaboration: SharePoint is a powerful collaboration platform, and now with Clipchamp, teams can work together on video content effortlessly. Multiple users can access and edit videos stored on SharePoint, making it easier to collaborate on projects, presentations, or training materials.
3. Meeting Recording and Beyond: One of the key advantages of Clipchamp on SharePoint is its ability to edit meeting recordings. No more fumbling with third-party software or cumbersome processes. Clipchamp simplifies the process of trimming, adding transitions, filters, text overlays, and more to your meeting recordings, making them more engaging and professional.
4. Security and Accessibility: All videos edited or created using Clipchamp on SharePoint are securely stored on OneDrive or SharePoint, ensuring data privacy and accessibility. This level of integration aligns with Microsoft’s commitment to providing secure, compliant, and accessible tools.

When Can You Start Using Clipchamp on SharePoint?

The rollout of Clipchamp on SharePoint started on August 2023 and will be completed by mid-October 2023. Users with Microsoft 365 licenses such as E3, E5, Business Standard, and Business Premium will automatically gain access to Clipchamp for work accounts.

A Final Note: Clipchamp Application for Windows

While Clipchamp on SharePoint is a significant step forward, it’s worth noting that a Clipchamp application for Windows is also in development. Currently available for personal Microsoft accounts, this application is expected to be extended to work accounts in the future. Administrators may choose to disable this application through Group Policy Editor until support for work accounts is added.
