A video-editing and sharing service has been bought by Microsoft, further hinting towards a bigger focus in sharing content in Windows 11 and Xbox.
Microsoft announced in a blogpost that it has acquired video-sharing platform Clipchamp for an undisclosed amount. Clipchamp has become a popular video-editing and sharing app since its debut in 2013, as it can be used within a web browser and clips can be easily shared to other platforms. With the release of Windows 11 due on October 5, there’s a big focus on gaming for this upgrade, thanks to the dedicated Xbox app, the redesigned Microsoft Store, and certain features that enable HDR gaming. With this in mind, the acquisition could lead to a promising opportunity for users and gamers to easily share content across Windows and Xbox. Based in Australia, Clipchamp has a free and paid subscription service that allows you to clip and export videos to different platforms, such as text to speech videos, social media videos, or even a ten minute YouTube video.
