Copilot in Outlook: Meeting Preparation Is About to Get Smarter

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.

Microsoft Ignite 2017

Microsoft Ignite is just around the corner, and for the first time in a few years I am not going as a speaker. It's going to be interesting to join as an attendee, and being able to focus 100% on learning new skills and connecting with the community.

Although I'm not presenting, I will still contribute to the community as an MVP. I've been asked to follow a couple of very special sessions and blog about them live. These are high profile sessions with exciting news for the unified communications community.


Stay tuned to my twitter tag @lawedo and this blog for updates on where to find me and what I will be blogging about over at the official Ignite 2017 Community Blog as a guest.
