External Sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive is changing: What You Need to Know

In an ongoing effort to create a more secure environment by default, Microsoft is introducing an important security update that will affect how external users access content shared through SharePoint and OneDrive. Starting July 1, 2025, any links shared with external users before your organization enabled Microsoft Entra B2B integration will no longer work.

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, this 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.
