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.

Ok, So I have the basics up and running, but is it working? Aperantly, yes.
Front end and backend now run without errormessages, and I can chat, call and use livemeeting on all the clients.

I decided not spend to much time on running around, installing applications, so I am using AD Group policies to deploy the applications. Here is a quick rundown of what I did:

Livemeeting:
  • Download software from www.livemeeting.com (Remember to download both client and outlook plugin)
  • Convert exe files to .msi files by running "LMsetup.exe -out c:\temp" (presuming c:\temp exists)
  • Create a GPO for distribution (Assign or publish, Computer or User - It depends on your preference)
  • Create Groups for filtering of the GPO
  • Add objects to the groups
  • Remove "authenticated users" from the filtering, add the desired group.
Attendant:
The attendant setup file I downloaded was already a .msi file, so no conversion was needed. Other than that, just repeat the steps from above.
