Microsoft 365 Copilot: New Navigation, Voice, and Context Enhancements Arriving Soon

Here are three new updates to the user interface of Microsoft Copilot. These releases improve usability, expand interaction options, and streamline how users incorporate work content into prompts.

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

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.
