How to Fix Clipchamp Work Account Cannot Access Desktop Files or Projects
Question details
The user is unable to access local desktop files or projects using a Clipchamp work account and is being redirected to the cloud version instead.
- Product
- Microsoft Clipchamp
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Attempting to open or edit previously created video projects using an organizational or work account in the Clipchamp desktop application.
- Observed behavior
- The desktop application redirects the user to the web-based cloud version, making previously saved local desktop files and projects difficult to locate or completely missing.
Verify the exact organizational email address associated with your Microsoft 365 work account, as personal and work accounts have completely separate storage and project locations.
Locate Projects in the Clipchamp Cloud Version
Because Microsoft is transitioning work account experiences to the web, logging into the cloud version is the most reliable way to find your missing projects.
Recent updates to the Clipchamp application and Microsoft 365 services often redirect work accounts away from local desktop storage to ensure better integration and security in the cloud. Your projects are likely safely stored in your organizational OneDrive or SharePoint.
Navigate to the official Clipchamp web application (app.clipchamp.com) using a supported browser like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
Click on 'Sign in with Microsoft' and carefully enter your organizational work email and password. Do not use your personal Microsoft account credentials.
Once logged in, check the main dashboard and the 'Your videos' section to locate the projects that were previously created on the desktop app.
Contact Microsoft Clipchamp Support
If your files are still missing or the desktop application refuses to support your specific work account configuration, reach out to the dedicated support team.
Boost Your Productivity with WPS Office

- 1. Download the installer: Visit the official WPS Office website and download the free installation package for your operating system.

- 3. Open and edit your files: Launch WPS Office and immediately start opening or editing your existing Microsoft Office documents without any formatting loss.
