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

on

Another security feature is coming to Microsoft Teams meetings. Coming this May is the capability for an organizer to lock a meeting in progress. 

If an organizer chooses to lock the meeting, no one will be able to enter the meeting after the lock has been set.

It would be advisable to train users on how to control their meetings with all of the recent feature enhancements. Especially highlight the powers an "organizer" has, and the importance of controlling this role, to avoid unnecessary disruption be "rouge" organizers.
