Microsoft Clipchamp offers a range of tools to help you create, edit, record, and manage videos.
1. Clipchamp for personal accounts
You can access this version of our video editor at app.clipchamp.com or via the desktop app for Windows. It requires a personal or family Microsoft account to log in. At this stage, other login options include Google, email, and email/password.
Clipchamp's personal version works in the Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome browser on your desktop or laptop (Windows, MacOS, Linux, Chromebook). It's also built into Windows 11 and can get installed from the Microsoft Store.
You can use it to combine and edit video clips, images, music, add text and export the finished video to your computer. You can also add visual effects, for example by slowing down a video or adding a filter.
Does Clipchamp's personal version cost anything?
The personal version of Clipchamp includes free and paid account tiers. It's free to create a video with your own media files and our free stock media collection, and it's free to export the completed video at up to 1080p (HD) resolution.
If you have a personal or family Microsoft 365 license then many Clipchamp premium features such as 4K exports, premium filters and effects are available to you as part of your subscription. To have them enabled, log into Clipchamp with your Microsoft account that is on the Microsoft 365 subscription.
In addition, there is also a standalone Clipchamp premium plan available. This paid option offers the use of advanced features and access to professional stock video, music, and audio files. For more details, see the Clipchamp subscription tiers.
iOS app for personal accounts
Our mobile app for iOS is free to use. You'll need a personal or family Microsoft account to log in. The mobile app does not work with a work or school Microsoft account.
2. Clipchamp for work or school accounts
The work version of Clipchamp's video editor needs to be enabled in your organization by your IT team and you'll need a Microsoft work (or education) account to access it.Â
It is the version you can use in work or school environments in conjunction with other Microsoft 365 apps that your organization or educational institution subscribes to.

Note:Â Microsoft 365 for business, education and government accounts also includes additional video capabilities - a camera, video player and homepage. For more information about them, see this article. These capabilities used to be available under the Stream brand and are now part of the unified Clipchamp brand - see this announcement.
Does Clipchamp's work version cost anything?
The Standard plan of Clipchamp's video editor is an included service in some Microsoft 365 business and education plans. By default, Clipchamp is enabled for users who have one of these Microsoft 365 licenses assigned to them by their organization.

Clipchamp work/school subscription plans
In addition to Clipchamp Standard being part of the above-mentioned Microsoft 365 licenses, the Clipchamp Premium plan is available as a Microsoft 365 Enterprise or Business add-on. Customers on one of the license plans listed above can purchase Clipchamp Premium to access additional features.
Clipchamp Standard and Clipchamp Premium are also available as standalone subscriptions for work users who are not on one of the Microsoft 365 license plans mentioned above. This means that subscribers to other business licenses can purchase Clipchamp as a standalone subscription. For more information, see this announcement.
Currently, the Clipchamp video editor for work and school accounts is not available in Microsoft 365 Government or Office 365 Government SKUs. For information about Clipchamp releases including the possible availability in additional Microsoft 365 SKUs, please follow the Microsoft 365 roadmap.
