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.

An update to the Lync SE Backup script

on
I just wanted to let my readers know I have updated the backup script previously added in a post earlier this summer.
After doing some research, I have now been able to enumerate the local Lync file share path, hosted on the server. So now, the Script should be able to run without any modifications or input.

The solution was quite "simple", once I figured out where and how:


Not the prettiest piece of code, but it worked. I've also been working on a similar script for Lync 2013 (preview), for those of you who would be interested in that.

The script can be downloaded here: Backupscript - Standard EDT.ps1
All my scripts can be found in the "Lync Scripts" section at the top

As always, I appreciate your feedback, suggestions or questions.
