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.

Automate your collection of CQM data in Skype for Business - Get-CqmAutomated.ps1 Released

on
My new script for automating the collection of CQM data, using the "Microsoft Call Quality Methodology Scorecard for Skype for Business Server" was released a couple of days ago.

It was announced last night at the "The Microsoft MVP Award Program Blog" with a solid description of how it is supposed to work, and how to set up the scheduled task in your own deployment.

I am aware the script has only been run in a "single" server environment, and I am look for a deployment with multiple monitor databases and/or mirrored databases to enhance my script to allow for collection from multiple databases, or selective databases.

CQM is getting more and more attention in the field, as it should be. I consider CQM a very important piece of the day to day maintenance of any deployment. How else can we know our deployment is working as it should be.

Here are a couple of links regarding the script:
