    I know that not having trim in Stream (on SharePoint) is painful. Full video editing will come with clipchamp being added to enterprise later this year. 

     

    It's been a long road for us in the product group to get to a plan for what to do in Stream. We apologize for how long it's taken us. It's not easy for us to just add back the ability that was in Stream (Classic) to SharePoint, the underlying architecture and storage is very different.

     

    Thank you for all the feedback you've shared and all the votes in the ideas forum. We've finally been able to land on a design for a simple trim option directly in Stream. We aren't able to share a timeline or roadmap item yet until we get further on the engineering design and start coding. 

     

    Feel free to keep adding your votes and comments to this item in the Ideas forum. (I consolidated the other few ideas into this single one that joined all the votes together):

This was over six months ago, and we are still waiting (the suggestion page indicates "we are considering this", so likely two more years). Not sure how it's beneficial to try to cover so much ground if the coverage is so shallow... This only gets people to complain about the lack of features, and to be honest, it makes us doubt if we should push for this and other tools.

This seems like a move to make more money and provide less value from Microsoft. Now they've also removed the standard (included) and basic Video Editor and are having people buy a new app called Clip Champ. That's fine if people want to do advanced editing. But trimming a video recording from a meeting is like expecting a pair of running shoes to come with laces. Basic expectation of value from a service built around effective communication and info sharing. C'mon and be all you should be Microsoft!

    I believe announcement MC664866 from Microsoft indicates that users with these licenses will have access for free to Clipchamp for work: Microsoft 365 - E3, E5, Business Standard and Business Premium.

    In the announcement Microsoft also indicate "Clipchamp runs in the Edge or Chrome browser and is accessible via OneDrive or SharePoint on the web by creating a new Clipchamp video or editing an existing video." so it is a web app not the desktop client.

    Apparently roll out has begun and is expected to be complete by mid-October.

    There is also detail on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 124826 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=124826

      Thanks Kirk. Finally some movement. That looks promising.

      A search on video shows other interesting improvements. https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=Video
