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.

Restore Lync 2013 Persistent Chat demo

on
I have created a video, showing how you may restore Persistent Chat data with a backup created with the Lync 2013 backup script v3.5

The video is about 3 minutes long, and shows a restore of my lab in real time. It has no sound, but the CC will explain what's going on.




The important giveaways from this movie should be:
  • Permissions required to run Lync commands
    • (A quick recap for those who have not seen the previous posts)
  • Remember to stop service first. 
As always, you can find the script right here.
