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!

Meeting policies in Teams have been updated in the Teams Admin Center

Microsoft released a lot of cool features last week, an I am sure I will comment them as the get closer to General Availability. But in this post, I will focus on some of the features that has surfaced GA just recently, and discuss if there are things the organization could or should look into.

Meeting Policy Settings
Already back in May, the option to create meetings where "only me" could bypass the lobby became available. But the organization wide setting is still set to "allow all to bypass". This is still true, but now there is a meeting policy which organizations can deploy to control this for all. 
To control this, look for the "Automatically admit people" in the teams admin portal. Select what best matches your security policy, but make sure to communicate this to the users as they probably are used to the allow all.
You can also control who gets to be a presenter through the same policy now. This is nice if you want to avoid guests to take control unless explicitly granted. My suggestion is to allow user override in most cases.
