Microsoft facilitator

Microsoft has been talking about agents for some time, and in the end of 2024 they made some updates to what we called "Copilot in teams meetings" by releasing the application (or agent) called Facilitator. The Facilitator requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license in addition to a Teams license.  So what is new, or what is the difference between "Copilot in teams meetings" and the new Facilitator?

74-322 passed

on
Back in April, I wrote a post on why I thought taking the Beta 74-322 was a mistake on my part, and how certain I was I had failed.

An experienced technician should probably know all of this by heart, but if you are unsure of your own skills. Don't just take this exam. Try reading some of the TechNet library docs on the subject, and go through some of the nexthop posts on the subjects.
