Copilot in Outlook: Prioritize my inbox

on
Microsoft is releasing a new feature for Copilot in Outlook: "Prioritize my inbox by Copilot". The feature can go through your inbox and analyse the content for you. it will then mark them as high and low priority and help you focus on the tasks that are important to you. When the feature rolls out, it will be implemented as an opt-in feature for users, and it will be a "limited seating" until there is enough capacity for all within the organization. When available and enabled, there will be ways to tell Copilot what is important to you. You can read more about this on the support pages for the feature. A couple of notes: It will only prioritize in your main inbox (Not subfolders) It will not work on shared mailboxes or groups This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 411302  and will start rolling out in April 2025

A couple of favorite news about the world of Teams - Week 17

on
Another week has passed, and here is another update from the world of Teams. It has been a rather quiet week, and I there hasn't been any big releases or feature updates catching my attention, but there has still been enough news and activity to write a small update from my part as well.

The biggest news (not no real surprise), was the announcement of several Windows Apps going into retirement. Skype for Business, Teams and Yammer will no longer be available for devices running Windows Phone: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4134653/windows-phone-apps-for-skype-for-business-microsoft-teams-and-yammer-a

A small updated for the Teams Powershell module was announced. Type Install-Module MicrosoftTeams -Force to update your module to version 0.9.3

A public preview of Office 2019 was announced at the techcommunity: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Office-Apps-Blog/Office-2019-Preview-is-ready-for-Commercial-customers/ba-p/187506

Some of my followers were confused by the following twitter message: https://twitter.com/SkypeBusiness/status/989141988523036672 but fear not. Skype for Business is not going away, Microsoft is simply merging their twitter accounts into one.

Finally, I wanted to share a rather interesting article I read at forbes.com. All about how the way we collaborate is changing in front of our eyes. Are you able to keep up?  https://www.forbes.com/sites/microsoft365/2018/04/23/as-the-way-we-work-changes-so-must-the-tools-we-use-to-create-and-collaborate/#467467ab339d
