Verify Included Clipchamp Features in Your Microsoft 365 Plan

Microsoft 365 subscriptions include specific premium Clipchamp features rather than the complete Premium tier, so you must verify which tools are covered.

A standard Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription provides access to select premium video editing features, such as premium filters, effects, basic cropping, trimming, and the ability to export in 1080p. However, it does not unlock the full Clipchamp Premium plan, which is sold separately and includes advanced tools like brand kits and premium stock audio/video.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Clipchamp features are included with Microsoft 365?

Microsoft 365 Personal and Family subscribers receive access to basic premium features, such as premium filters, effects, video speed adjustment tools, and 1080p exporting without watermarks. It does not include the full Clipchamp Premium suite.

Do I need to pay extra for Clipchamp Premium?

Yes, if you need full access to premium stock audio, premium stock video, and the comprehensive brand kit feature, you will need to purchase the standalone Clipchamp Premium plan, as these are not fully included in a standard Microsoft 365 subscription.

Why is Clipchamp asking me to upgrade when I already have Microsoft 365?

This usually happens if you are trying to use a premium stock asset or advanced feature that belongs strictly to the Clipchamp Premium tier. It can also occur if you are logged into Clipchamp with a different email address than the one tied to your active Microsoft 365 subscription.
