Clipchamp coming to Visual Creator in Microsoft 365 Copilot

Clipchamp will soon integrate with Visual Creator in Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling users to effortlessly create videos by simply typing a prompt. Clipchamp will generate a custom script, find available high-quality stock footage, and assemble a video project complete with music, voiceover, text overlays, and transitions. After initial creation, t his initial draft can be further edited in the Clipchamp app and exported as an mp4 file for distribution.   As mentioned, the feature sources it images from existing stock media from Microsoft 365 service asset libraries , it does not create actual new video material.   Organizations should consider updating their training and adoption material to include the new agent and the Clipchamp tool for content creators.   This feature is mentioned in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 402192 , and it should be rolling out in the February-March time - frame .  

The Backup Skype for Business script is now live

As promised in today's session, here is the announcement of the general availability of the backup script for Skype for Business on premise.

It is continuation of the backup-lync2013 script, with a few minor tweaks to make it work with SfB.
But as I was going through the script to make it compatible, I also added a couple of other tweaks.

Here are the highlight of this version (called v 4.00)

  • Change: Script renamed to Backup-SfB.ps1
  • Change: Script edited to work with Skype For Bisiness server deployment (TAP Bits)
  • Change: Shortened filepath by using hostnames, not fqdn for naming
  • Change: New destination = c:\ucbackup
  • New feature: Added a switch to set a password for certificate $CertPass
  • New feature: Certificate export will now add "usages" for the exported certificates
  • New feature: A warning is displayed if a cert is not exportable
  • FEATURE REQUEST: Send an email notification on completion
  • Bugfix: If the same certificate is used for multiple usages, the next export (with an existing thumbprint) is skipped, only the first usage is displayed

I hope you find this useful, and I do appreciate feedback so I can make it even better in an upcoming event.

The script can be downloaded from the Technet Gallery
