Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

on
Microsoft is rolling a new update to Copilot Notebooks that make collaboration even easier: the ability to share Copilot Notebooks with your colleagues.  Personally, I like Notebooks because they feel almost like small, personal agents I don’t have to configure. They give me a safe space to collect notes and documents and then work on them over time. With this update, that personal space can become a shared space for a selected group of  colleagues, without compromising security or permissions. I think it is also important to note that your chat and chat history within the Notebook stays private. The web rollout began in late October and will finish by December, while mobile access starts in early November and are related to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ( ID 506851 )  You can also read more about the Copilot Notebooks experience on the Microsoft website here . If you like this update and want to stay informed about similar improvements, feel free to follow me on LinkedIn!

A couple of new Teams features an admin might want to know about

on

 A couple of policies have received new settings or defaults over the past couple of weeks, and here are some of those i think you might want to look into.

Message translation:
Message translation has now been set to default "on" in the global user policy. If your users have assigned custom policies, these might not have that setting turned on by default. If you want to allow your users this handy feature, Make sure to go through your policies according to this guide.

Allow more badges in the Praise app:
You can add a little flare to the praise app by adding more custom badges for your organization. But this requires the admin to add these badges in the Teams Admin portal. This feature should be rolling out by the end of September.

Meeting policy and meeting expiration:
Teams is introducing meeting expiration to their meeting policies. Which to my understanding will ensure all meetings created by a user will no longer be accessible to anyone. Previously, the meeting policy would only affect new meetings after the policy was implemented, but the new way it will work is to expire any previously created meeting by the affected user. Read more about how this works here.

**Updated 30/8/2020 with a correct link to the meeting expiration**
