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.

Another Lync 2013 for Android update

on
Microsoft has released a new Lync 2013 update for Android (On play).

A shortlist of new Android features are as follows:
- Tablet support (excludes Tegra2 based devices)
- Add participants into an ongoing conversation (IM or Lync Meeting)
- Start an ad-hoc group conversation
- Security improvements through tightened SSL validation.

I was quick to log into play with my device, only to discover I have a unit still not supported (but yes, it might be getting a bit old by now)



For those of you (like me) who still have an unsupported version, I have once again updated my original post with the newest build available for download right here: http://tech.rundtomrundt.com/2013/04/making-lync-2013-work-on-your-android.html

I have installed it myself, and found it to be working just fine.
