Microsoft 365 begins watermarking AI-generated content

Microsoft is introducing a new policy in Microsoft 365 that allows organizations to watermark content that’s created or edited using AI tools such as Copilot, reports Windows Central . Initially, the policy applies to audio content created or edited using AI within Microsoft 365. Support for video is expected to be launched in March 2026. The feature is not enabled by default and must be manually activated by administrators. The watermark can’t be customized—the text and placement are predetermined by Microsoft. Even if an organization chooses not to use visible or audible watermarks, AI content will still be marked with metadata. This information can show which AI model was used, which app created the content, and when it was generated, among other details. AI-generated images are handled separately through a different user-level policy.
