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.

Powerpoint presenter view now available in Teams Public Preview

Powerpoint presenter view is now available in the public preview of Teams. This feature will let you control a presentation, much in the same way you control a regular presentation. 

Among some awaited functionality are the thumbnails for easy access, and the notes section where you can read the notes for each slide.

If you pass control to another presenter they will also get the same experience. 

The presenter view is the default view when sharing a powerpoint directly from the sharing action in a meeting.

If you want to participate in the public preview to get early access to features like this, your IT admin need to set an update policy that turns on Show preview features. This is how to do it
