Data Lifecycle Management: Separate Copilot retention policies from Teams chats

In a previous post I mentioned how Microsoft is adding the capability to use Purview Data Loss Prevention on Copilot to block certain information from surfacing for the user. Now, Microsoft is adding Copilot to it's retention policy controls, and starting mid-February, public preview tenants can start exploringthis new feature. Admins will be able to create separate retention policies for Microsoft Teams chats and Microsoft 365 Copilot interactions, and allows for a more tailored data management. The feature will of course require that the targeted users have Microsoft 365 Copilot license.  According to the message center, the public preview will be during February, and we can hope for a general release sometime in March. The feature will be available by default, but policies will have to be set up.

Start a Teams Ad-Hoc meeting right from the Outlook desktop client

 

Tolling out right now, as Roadmap Item 68838 is the feature that will allow users to start a Teams meeting directly from the calendar view in the Outlook desktop client.

Clicking the Meet now button launches the pre-meeting window in the Teams client. From here, the user can name the meeting, select input devices and join the meeting. 

Once in the meeting, the user can add participants and call them up as a regular ad-hoc meeting initiated from within Teams.
