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.

The Teams app from the Windows 10 store has bee released for general preview, and can be found right here. A word of caution, I have been testing for a couple of weeks in a closed beta, and can recommend you only run one type of client on your desktop. Either the desktop version or the store version. Do a proper logout and uninstall of the client you do not want to use.

Not directly linked to Teams (yet), but as SRS support is coming to Teams soon I thought it would be nice to know Microsoft has refreshed the documentation set for SRS and posted it at docs.microsoft.com.
