Updated April 6, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience. <\/p>\n

[Introduction]<\/b><\/p>\n

To help provide additional transparency about what content has been generated or altered by using AI in Microsoft 365<\/i>, Microsoft is providing you with a policy setting that visually designates when content, such as video or audio content, is generated or altered by using AI. This policy setting controls your organization\u2019s option to add a visual or audio watermark to video and audio content that your users generate or alter by using AI in Microsoft 365<\/i>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To turn on watermarks for video and audio content that your users generate or alter by using AI in Microsoft 365<\/i>, you need to use the \u201cInclude a watermark when content from Microsoft 365 is generated or altered by AI<\/b>\u201d policy. This policy is available only in Cloud Policy service for Microsoft 365<\/i><\/a>. <\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Watermarks are not turned on unless you set the policy to Enabled<\/b>. Your organization is always responsible for following the Microsoft Enterprise AI Services Code of Conduct<\/a>, including not generating or sharing deceptive AI content. <\/p>\n

This change is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 547831<\/a>.<\/p>\n

[When this will happen]<\/b><\/p>\n

General Availability (Worldwide): <\/b>We anticipate that this policy will be available in Cloud Policy <\/i>by mid-April 2026 (previously late March).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

If you set the \u201cInclude a watermark when content from Microsoft 365 is generated or altered by AI<\/b>\u201d policy to Enabled <\/b>in Cloud Policy, a visual or audio watermark is added to video and audio content that is generated or altered by using AI in Microsoft 365<\/i>. Here are two examples:<\/p>\n
