Here's how the Microsoft Stream and Clipchamp unification is going

Back in November 2024, Microsoft announced plans to unify the Stream and Clipchamp services under a single brand: Clipchamp. Since then, the company has also revealed its roadmap for Clipchamp in 2025, which includes Templates and an alternate way to trim videos. Now, it has shared some details about the progress made in its unification efforts.

For starters, the Clipchamp start page has been unified in Microsoft 365, and you'll also be able to see the same view regardless of whether you launch the service through the Clipchamp or Stream URLs. Microsoft has also transitioned the Stream branding to Clipchamp in various areas, including the video player experience, which also includes Microsoft 365 Copilot.

There are other rebranding efforts in progress, too, expected to be complete by the end of this month. These include updates to Stream's support documentation, a rebranding of relevant webpages on the Microsoft Learn platform, marketing page redirections, and transition of the dedicated Tech Community blog.

Microsoft has also made further improvements to its video services to remove references to Stream. The camera, capture, and screen recording interfaces now feature the Clipchamp branding, logos, and colors, with notification banners informing customers about the transition. In the same vein, the admin controls in screen recording contain video settings instead of Stream settings. The updated embeds in Teams and Outlook also say Watch/Open in browser rather than Open in Stream. Finally, the video editor export screen has replaced Publish with Microsoft Stream with Watch in browser.

It is important to note that this is still a work in progress, but for now, you can try out the new unified video hub here. Microsoft expects the transition to be completed smoothly, with no disruptions to existing workflows, video artifacts, and features. You can offer feedback to the company directly via this portal.
