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

Microsoft Teams Calendar getting a facelift - Enhanced Scheduling Form

on
According to a message in the admin center, the scheduling feature in the native Teams Calendar app will be getting a facelift making it a lot more similar to the Outlook experience. The roadmap (post) highlights a time zone picker, availability status and locations.

This is for me a most welcome feature, as I often find myself going back to Outlook when planning a meeting where I need to find available times for everyone (unless I'm using "Find-Time"). Having seen a sneak peak earlier, I can say the invite window now does look a lot more like the interface users are used to from applications like Outlook or OWA.
