More information

What and Why:

Microsoft Clipchamp is introducing an admin policy control for the Clipchamp AI video creation experience, also known as Clipchamp Generate a video or Create a video in Copilot Create. This control helps organizations manage which users can access the AI-powered video creation capability.

Rollout Schedule:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out in late November 2026 and expect to complete by early December 2026.

Impact on Your Organization:

Who is affected:

  • Users who have access to Clipchamp Create a video / Generate a video experiences.
  • Admins who manage Microsoft 365 app policies.

Platforms/Services:

  • Microsoft Clipchamp
  • Microsoft 365 admin center policy management

What will happen:

  • Admins will be able to use policy management to control access to Clipchamp AI video project creation.
  • If your organization allows employees to use this feature, no action is required.
  • If your organization wants to restrict access, admins can configure the Turn off Clipchamp AI video project policy after rollout.

Action Required/Recommendations:

No action is required if your organization allows access to the Clipchamp Create a video / Generate a video feature.

To remove access after rollout, admins can go to Microsoft 365 admin center > Admin centers > All admin centers > Microsoft 365 apps > Customization > Policy Management, create or edit a policy, enable the Turn off Clipchamp AI video project policy, and save the changes.
