Microsoft Clipchamp
Microsoft Clipchamp is now available in Rutgers Connect for all faculty/staff accounts.
Clipchamp is Microsoft’s supported video editing tool and works with content created across Microsoft 365. With it, users can edit items such as PowerPoint screen recordings, Teams voice or video recordings, and other video files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. The tool supports basic editing tasks, such as trimming clips, combining recordings, adding text or captions, and exporting finished videos.
Now that it’s enabled, users can access Clipchamp from the Microsoft 365 app launcher or directly at clipchamp.com. You may also begin to see options to open or edit certain recordings in Clipchamp as part of existing workflows (for example, after creating a screen recording). No additional configuration is required. No separate installation is needed for web access, and basic functionality is available automatically.
Clipchamp is now the recommended video editing tool within Microsoft. Microsoft’s support documentation covers common scenarios and can be helpful for first‑time users.
If you have any questions, please send a message to support@libraries.rutgers.edu.
