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

Breakout rooms coming to Teams soon

on

This is one of the features I have been looking forward to, and will be most useful in remote teaching and training. With breakout rooms coming to Teams, we get a great way to split classes into smaller groups for collaborative work. All of them supervised by a teacher/trainer who can monitor all rooms at the same time, or easily pop in/out of the sessions for support or questions.

The feature is associated with the roadmap item 65332, and according to a message in the admin center recently, it should be rolling out this month. The doesn't come with separate administrative controls, but the users need the right to start private meetings and channel meetings in order to control these features in the meeting.
