How can I combine or merge multiple videos into one on Windows 11?

Honestly, the Photos app on Windows is a bit of a hidden gem for this. It's already on your PC, and it's totally free, so you don't need to download anything fancy just to stitch some clips together .

Figuring out how to combine videos into one using the Photos app is pretty straightforward, once you know where to click. It's not super obvious because the app is mainly for photos, but it's got a solid little video editor built right in .

Here’s the casual, step-by-step on how to combine videos into one:

Quick Steps Using Photos App

Step 1: Open the Photos app from your Start menu.

Step 2: Click on New video (or the big blue "New video project" box) and pick New video project . Give your project a name so you can find it later.

Step 3: Hit the Add button under the "Project library" and choose your video files from your PC.

Step 4: Drag your clips down to the storyboard at the bottom to arrange them in the order you want . You can also trim clips or add text/music if you're feeling fancy.

Step 5: When you're happy, click Finish video in the top-right corner, pick your video quality, and hit Export to save your merged masterpiece.

It's free, already on your computer, and way easier than messing with complicated software. Give it a shot!
