Microsoft is progressing toward adding video generation to Copilot, a move that would broaden its content creation tools for users ranging from students to professionals. The unreleased feature is expected to be available even for free users, though with a likely restriction of one video generation per day. Early signs indicate that the underlying model for this capability will be Sora 2, a next-generation video model also used by other leading AI providers.
Evidence of the upcoming feature includes the appearance of a new “Videos” tab in the Copilot web app’s library section, designed to collect and organize all user-generated videos. This approach mirrors the way Copilot currently stores images and suggests an integrated workflow where users can easily retrieve their past video outputs. There are also hints that the Imagine page, which is dedicated to image generation, could soon display videos alongside images, further unifying the user experience.
In parallel, Copilot is working on a user interface refresh for its settings, replacing the current settings display with a modern pop-up modal. This aligns with UI trends seen in other major apps, aimed at providing quicker access and a more streamlined feel.
Microsoft’s ongoing integration of advanced generative models like Sora 2 fits into its larger strategy of embedding powerful AI tools across the Copilot suite, reinforcing its position in the productivity and creative markets. While the release date is still uncertain, history suggests that the rollout could occur in the coming weeks as these UI updates tend to precede wider feature launches.
