Microsoft’s Clipchamp Video Editor is Coming to Microsoft 365 Commercial Customers

Clipchamp, Microsoft’s cloud-based video editor that’s now available as an inbox app on Windows 11 is getting support for work accounts. By giving the app the Microsoft 365 app status, Microsoft hopes that it will help everyone who wants to give video editing a try to get started.

“Just like Microsoft Word gave everyone the power to compose professional-looking documents, and PowerPoint enables people to create compelling presentations, Clipchamp empowers anyone to produce high-quality videos they can be proud of,” Microsoft explained in the announcement.

In case you forgot, Microsoft acquired Clipchamp back in 2021 and made it an inbox app on Windows 11 last year. The app is currently free to use, but some features such as 4K exports and content backup are locked behind a subscription.

Microsoft said today that Clipchamp will become available to commercial customers through Targeted release starting at the end of August 2023. The app will be available from the Microsoft 365 launcher, and it will integrate with OneDrive, Teams, and other Microsoft apps.

“Clipchamp is built on OneDrive and SharePoint and is integrated with your other everyday Microsoft productivity apps. The videos you export from Clipchamp can be shared through Microsoft Stream, embedded and played in Microsoft Teams, in emails with Outlook, and on Microsoft Viva Engage, seamlessly modernizing your workflows,” Microsoft emphasized.

After Microsoft stopped supporting Windows Movie Maker, the company added basic video editing features to the Windows Photos app, but that clearly wasn’t enough. Despite being web-based, Clipchamp is a competent, easy-to-use video editor and it should be a nice addition to the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. After using Adobe Premiere Elements 2022, Paul gave Clipchamp another shot earlier this month and was pleasantly surprised with it, which I guess tells something about the app’s quality.
