[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. [Compliance considerations:] Question Answer Does this change include an admin control? Yes. Admins can use policy management to control access to Clipchamp AI video project creation. Does the change provide end users a new way of interacting with generative AI? No. This is not a new generative AI feature. The Create a video experience is an existing feature; this update adds admin control for managing user access.
