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

Welcoming a new colleague in Teams Notifications

on
A new notification option will start rolling out next month. According to the news posted in the admin center, roadmap feature 57455 will be rolling out in December. It is a new way to recognize new members to Teams, but also another notification setting we need to train users to control if that's what they like. This feature will be on by default, and there are to my knowledge nothing admins have to do or consider. But update your internal documentation and training if you have them.
You will find these settings under the usual notifications section in Teams settings, and your options are as "usual" "Banner and feed", "Show only in feed" and "off".
