Regaining Control Over Unmanaged GenAI Apps: New Microsoft Purview Enhancements in Edge

on
Many organizations are growing increasingly concerned about the widespread use of unsanctioned Generative AI (GenAI) tools. These apps, often accessed through unmanaged browsers, pose significant risks to data security and compliance.

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.

After initial creation, this initial draft can be further edited in the Clipchamp app and exported as an mp4 file for distribution.

This feature is mentioned in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 402192, and it should be rolling out in the February-March time-frame.
