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.

Webinar features coming to Microsoft Teams, and what you need to know as an admin

on

There have been a couple of posts regarding the webinar feature coming to Microsoft Teams in the Admin center. The Registration feature is the first feature to land, and it will be default on for all. However there are certain things an admin should know about the feature, and how to control it.

Although the feature is on by default for all, the registration page will only be available for internal users of the same tenant. If a user should need to inviter users from outside the organization, a admin have to delegate a policy allowing this action.

The feature can be controlled with the new- or set-csteamsmeetingpolicy as described here. Use the AllowMeetingRegistration or/and WhoCanRegister parameter as documented.
