Creating videos with Copilot: How to easily create AI videos

Video content has become one of the most powerful ways to communicate ideas, train employees, and engage customers. However, traditional video production often requires time, specialized skills, and expensive equipment.

Microsoft Copilot is changing this completely.

With AI-powered video creation, you can now transform simple ideas or ordinary documents into professional-looking videos complete with scripts, illustrations, voiceovers, music, and transitions in minutes.

This guide explains how to create videos with Copilot step-by-step, including usage guidelines for business, marketing, and training.

What is video creation in Copilot?

Microsoft Copilot has a “Create Video” feature that allows users to create videos via natural language prompts or use existing files such as PowerPoint presentations or documents.

Copilot uses AI to:

• Create an automated script.
• Select stock footage and related images.
• Add narration and background music.
• Combine everything into a complete draft video.

That means you don't need video editing experience to create high-quality content.

Creating videos with Copilot (Step-by-Step)

1. Open Copilot “Create” Experience

• Go to the Microsoft 365 Copilot app
• Select Create → Create a video

This is the beginning of creating videos with AI.

2. Explain your video idea (Prompting)

Type a clear video description, such as:

• Topic (e.g., Product, Training, Campaign)
• Target group (customers, employees, executives)
• Video tone (Professional, Friendly, Inspiring)

The more detailed the prompt, the better the results will be.

3. (Optional) Add a file or PowerPoint presentation

You can upload:

• PowerPoint Presentations
• Documents (Word, PDF)

Copilot can automatically convert these files into videos with narration.

This is particularly critical for:

• Training documents
• Sales Presentation
• Internal Communication

4. Create a video

Click Create and Copilot will:

• Create a script
• Select accompanying images and videos
• Add voiceover and music
• Create a video that is ready for preview

In many cases, the entire process takes less than a minute

5. Inspect and fine-tune with AI

After creating a video, you can:

• Change the style or tone of voice
• Change background music
• Adjust image or text

Copilot helps you easily generate new versions.

6. Further edits in Clipchamp (Optional)

For advanced editing, you can open the video in Clipchamp, which can:

• Change the clip or image
• Increase the length of the Scene
• Customize Branding

Copilot connects directly to Clipchamp for deeper video control.

7. Export and Share

Once the video is complete:

• Export as a video file (e.g., MP4)
• Share within or outside the organization.

Videos are typically saved in your environment, such as OneDrive, for easy access.
