Microsoft Clipchamp, a year in review: a cohesive, AI-powered video editing experience

Microsoft 365 Insider Blog:

Hi, Microsoft 365 Insiders! Since joining the Microsoft family in 2021, Clipchamp has become a favorite tool for creators, educators, and businesses worldwide to create engaging, on-brand videos fast. In 2025, we added new capabilities aimed at improving accessibility, creativity, and precision as well as increased productivity and we made a number of updates to the editing interface. Let’s take a walk down memory lane!

A cohesive video experience

Last year, we learned from many of you about key overlaps between two of our video offerings within Microsoft 365: Clipchamp and Stream, our enterprise video experience. To capitalize on each product’s unique advantages and reduce friction for users navigating the video space, we spearheaded a new, cohesive Microsoft video experience by evolving Clipchamp and Stream into a single, streamlined video solution. Videos continue to be stored in SharePoint, Teams, and OneDrive, while maintaining the same familiar experiences for sharing, searching, and commenting across other Microsoft 365 apps. Enterprise organizations can now enhance productivity and efficiency, while improvements to video playback capabilities will continue to improve user engagement.

More ways to customize and get creative

Greater customization was a priority in 2025, with many of our improvements geared toward helping you create on-brand and professional-looking videos with ease. Our refreshed brand kit stores logos, fonts, and other key elements for making organization-specific content, while the new color picker allows you to easily pick colors from your media files for precise color matching. Paired with the ability to create and share video templates, you can facilitate better collaboration and promote efficiency. Plus, we’ve expanded our library of stock images, text styles, vector shapes, gradient backgrounds and more design elements to suit your unique tone and drive better audience engagement.

A seamless interface

Using Clipchamp feel natural and enjoyable, and over the past year we’ve refreshed the interface to make that experience even smoother. We introduced both dark and light modes to suit your working preferences and a collapsable side bar and timeline. In addition, it’s now more intuitive to take common actions such as zooming in and out of the timeline, undoing and redoing edits, and changing the aspect ratio of videos.

AI-powered productivity

Microsoft 365 Copilot Create experience makes it easier to create videos from a prompt. Add a file, your organization's brand kit to help consuming and sharing information more dynamic and engaging. And if you need to catch up on what's happening across your company, from missed meetings to the latest townhall, Clipchamp has it all in one place. With the help of Copilot, leverage your transcripts to summarize your videos and get answers to your questions.

And to top it off, at Ignite 2025, we announced the availability of OpenAI’s latest video model, Sora 2, in Frontier—bringing advanced video generation capabilities to Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed users.

Looking ahead, our focus is on strengthening video creation and consumption by making it easier for people to create high-quality video inside their everyday tools, and in turn enabling those videos to be discovered, shared, and reused across the organization. By tightening this loop, we aim to accelerate learning, collaboration, and the impact of video throughout Microsoft 365.
