Copilot in Outlook: Meeting Preparation Is About to Get Smarter

on
Currently, the “Prepare for meetings with Copilot” feature requires at least three participants. Starting mid-October, this is changing. Copilot will soon support all meetings, including 1:1s. The rollout will begin in mid-October and is expected to complete by November 2025 according to the message center. With this update, you’ll also see new real-time insights in the Outlook meeting event form, summarizing relevant context, tasks, documents, and other resources. Plus, you’ll be able to chat with Copilot to confirm action items or better understand meeting goals. The more context Copilot has, the better it works. Meeting series with related emails, shared documents, Teams chats, and previous Copilot transcriptions deliver the richest experience. If your organization limits Copilot to in-meeting use only and deletes content afterward, you’ll miss out on much of this value. Here is a relevant " how to " guide for users.

Learning OCS: Part 1

on
I've been shipped off to a course in OCS2007. And it seems fun. First of all, a course like this is a nice break from the regular work schedule. Second, it is always nice to attend a course in something you're already somewhat familiar with. I have installed a few OCS's already, and know the basics. But at this course, you get to get under the hood. And get a finer understanding of the potential of this server product. Day 1 and day two are really basic. Setup, install and configure for simple use. But I am really looking forward to the next part: Conferencing with audio and video.
