SharePoint Online Expands Version Expiration for Audio and Video Files

Version expiration policies for audio and video files in SharePoint Online.

Microsoft is launching version expiration policies in SharePoint Online for audio and video files. The approach is the same as used for intelligent versioning of Office files stored in SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business and can be configured at the tenant, site, and document library level. If your tenant uses Clipchamp, this could be a way to save expensive SharePoint storage.

Microsoft 365 Unifies Video Under Clipchamp Brand

A November 26 announcement says that Microsoft 365 Video will bring Stream and Clipchamp together under the Clipchamp brand. A lot of hard work over the past few years created the potential for unification as Stream moved to the SharePoint platform and Clipchamp embraced the Microsoft 365 framework. Bringing the two solutions together into a unified Microsoft 365 video platform makes perfect sense.

Video Recording Feature Now Available for Stream for SharePoint

The Stream for SharePoint browser client includes the ability for people to record short (up to 15 minute) videos. The input comes from workstation cameras (including software cameras like Snap Camera) or the screen. Videos are stored in OneDrive for Business and can be updated and shared from there. The question we have is what role will Clipchamp play in the Microsoft 365 video playbook?
