Copilot in Outlook: Prioritize my inbox

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

Guest Access will be default "on" for Teams

Here is a heads up for all Teams admins:
- ".. to bring Teams Guest capability into alignment with the rest of the suite, where the setting is already on by default." Microsoft is changing this policy (Allow Guest Access) to on.

I would assume most organizations have been turning this feature on, to encourage collaboration. And there is no need to take any action if you already set this policy to allow. But if some reason you need to turn this off for the entire organization, you will need to do so manually once this setting has been deployed.

According to "Message ID: MC228482" in the admin message center, this should start rolling out on February 8th.
