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

Tighter Outlook and Teams integration


Users will soon be able to set their Out of Office settings and notifications from within Teams, and this will then sync with Exchange online.

Microsoft Teams have for a long time been able to read the OOF status from Exchange, but with the new update announced it will also be able to write status.

According to the Admin center, this feature will roll out during May

There will be two ways to access this feature from Teams, one through the "Set status message" panel accessible from the user profile image, the other from the "settings" page shown in the image above.
