Multitenant Intelligent Recap, Sharing with Copilot summary and talk to your Copilot

on
Here are three new features for Copilot, either already enabled in your tenant, or on it's way really soon. Intelligent Recap Access for Multi-tenant Organization Copilot will soon supports intelligent meeting recaps for B2B users in multi-tenant organizations, allowing access to summaries from the hosting tenant. This will make it much easier for meeting participants in large (multitenant) organizations. The update mentions multi tenant organizations and B2B organizations, but it is not clear on which scenarios will be supported. I'll keep an eye out for any information on this.

Teams meeting experience is getting a long awaited feature

on
Yesterday a message regarding Teams meeting experience landed in the Admin Message Center. Teams is getting three new features this month.

One of them have been demonstrated for a long time, but it is finally coming to a client near you: Custom Backgrounds is supposed to be rolling out mid April.

I am guessing this has been one of the most requested features at user voice, and with the WFH situation many of us are in, this is most welcome in order to "hide" distractions in the back. And no, that's not my living-room you see in the picture.

The other two features are also most welcome, and will increase the meeting experience for users.

By adding a "Meet now" button in channels, it will be easier than ever to launch an ad-hoc channel meeting. And by changing/enhancing the landing page for a Teams meeting invitation a user is taken to upon clicking an invite, it is more clear to the end user what options the users have to join the meeting.

There are no admin controls related to these feature at the time, but you may want to update your training and inform your users about the new features.
