Copilot in Outlook: Meeting Preparation Is About to Get Smarter

on
Currently, the “Prepare for meetings with Copilot” feature requires at least three participants. Starting mid-October, this is changing. Copilot will soon support all meetings, including 1:1s. The rollout will begin in mid-October and is expected to complete by November 2025 according to the message center. With this update, you’ll also see new real-time insights in the Outlook meeting event form, summarizing relevant context, tasks, documents, and other resources. Plus, you’ll be able to chat with Copilot to confirm action items or better understand meeting goals. The more context Copilot has, the better it works. Meeting series with related emails, shared documents, Teams chats, and previous Copilot transcriptions deliver the richest experience. If your organization limits Copilot to in-meeting use only and deletes content afterward, you’ll miss out on much of this value. Here is a relevant " how to " guide for users.

Teams for life on Desktop is rolling out

on

Teams for life was enabled on mobile devices earlier this year, but now the update is coming to the desktop client as well.

Although there is no date for this roadmap item yet, a message in the message center appeared last week. This message described how an organization admin could control or restrict access to this new feature when it arrives. Take a look at the documentation on how to handle Teams sign-in in order to prepare.

Using this feature will also make changes to how the org switcher works for users. According to MessageID MC226759 in the message center, this will happen in December, and will move the switcher to a second level instead of being available right from the bar where it is today.
