Clipchamp coming to Visual Creator in Microsoft 365 Copilot

on
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 .  

More Microsoft Teams updates coming out of preview

on

The new Teams client was implemented with the "new channel" experience, so this might not be news to everyone. But now is the time to prepare for the new experience in the old client as well. The biggest change is probably how the feed in every channel will change to hae the latest post on top, and to have the creation of new posts on top (instead of on the bottom). Thinking about it, this is something users recognize from other social media services, and it will hopefully prevent the common mistake users do when they want to reply toa post, but inadvertatly creats a new post instead. The roll out should be completed by mid July.

Shortly after the rollout of the new experience, the new search experience will also be introduced to the client. Instead of using the searchbar on top of the client, it will soon be possible to search within the context of a spesific channel or chat on the right hand side of the thread. Hopefully, this change is implemented by the end of August.

Another enhancement to the chat layout is the "compact" mode for chat, saving users some space in the application. The feature should be in the works, and is listed as "rolling out" in the roadmap.
