explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft 365 Copilot is introducing a new feature that allows users to generate videos using artificial intelligence (AI) without needing a specific license. Imagine this like having a personal assistant who can take your written notes or presentations and turn them into a video presentation. This assistant uses stock video clips that you can edit to fit your needs.
This feature will be available to all users who have access to Copilot Chat, starting globally in November 2025. Users can create videos by simply typing what they want to say in natural language, much like having a conversation. The AI then uses this input to generate a video, which can be further customized by editing the transcript or audio.
Think of it like ordering a custom-made pizza. You tell the chef (in this case, the AI) what ingredients you want, and they prepare it for you. If you want to change something, like adding more cheese or removing olives, you can do so before it's finalized. Similarly, you can adjust the video content before it's complete.
This new capability supports files in Word, PowerPoint, and PDF formats, as long as they are not encrypted or locked with certain security labels. There's no need for IT administrators to take any action to enable this feature, but it might be a good idea to update any internal guides or training materials to help users understand how to make the most of this new tool.
In terms of compliance, there are no specific concerns identified, but it's always wise to review how this feature fits within your organization's policies. Overall, this new video generation feature in Microsoft 365 Copilot aims to make it easier for users to communicate their ideas visually, leveraging the power of AI to enhance productivity and creativity.
