How to enable or disable Clipchamp for users in your organization

Clipchamp's availability in Microsoft 365 SKUs

The standard plan of Clipchamp's work version is an included service in the following Microsoft 365 business and education licenses:

By default, Clipchamp is enabled for users who have one of these Microsoft 365 licenses assigned to them by their organization.

Managing Clipchamp availability for individual users

For individual users who already have a Microsoft 365 license assigned to them, you can unassign Clipchamp in the Admin Center or through PowerShell.

Managing Clipchamp availability for groups of users

For groups of users, you can use PowerShell to enable or disable the Clipchamp service.

When you're in the process of assigning Microsoft 365 licenses, you can disable access to specific Microsoft 365 services.

When licenses have already been assigned to users and you'd like to remove the Clipchamp service, use one of the following methods:

1. Filter the account(s) based on existing account attributes, such as Department or City, and use the Set-MsolUserLicense cmdlet with the LicenseOptions parameter to enable or disable the service.

2. Create a group of users and use the Set-MsolUserLicense cmdlet with the LicenseOptions parameter to enable or disable the service for all members of the group.

For more information, see: Disable access to Microsoft 365 services with PowerShell.

Managing availability of Clipchamp's desktop app for Windows

By default, users in your organization who are on a corresponding license can access Clipchamp's work version through Microsoft 365 on the web in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. In addition to web access, Clipchamp also offers a desktop application for Windows 10 and Windows 11 to launch the video editor directly.

Up to version 2.9.x, the desktop app only supports personal Microsoft accounts. From version 3.x, the app supports work or school Microsoft accounts (AAD/Entra ID). This new app version is now launched and generally available. For more information, see: Work account support in the Clipchamp app for Windows.

You can control the availability of the Clipchamp desktop app in your organization as follows.

• We recommend using Intune to manage the app. This works the same as managing other Microsoft Store apps, see: Add Microsoft Store apps to Microsoft Intune.

• We also recommend downloading the latest Clipchamp administrative template files (ADMX/ADML) and import them in Intune to be able to make use of the Group Policy options mentioned below. To learn how to import ADMX & ADML files in Intune, see this support article.

• Your users need to be on app version 2.8.0 (or higher); managing the app won't work for older versions.

• AAD/Entra ID account support is available from version 3.x (at least 3.0.10020).

• Note that if the Microsoft Store is enabled for users in your organization, they can also update the Clipchamp desktop app on their device by themselves.
