Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

on
Microsoft is rolling a new update to Copilot Notebooks that make collaboration even easier: the ability to share Copilot Notebooks with your colleagues.  Personally, I like Notebooks because they feel almost like small, personal agents I don’t have to configure. They give me a safe space to collect notes and documents and then work on them over time. With this update, that personal space can become a shared space for a selected group of  colleagues, without compromising security or permissions. I think it is also important to note that your chat and chat history within the Notebook stays private. The web rollout began in late October and will finish by December, while mobile access starts in early November and are related to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ( ID 506851 )  You can also read more about the Copilot Notebooks experience on the Microsoft website here .

1000 channels in Teams, sending an invite to channel meeting participants and Automatic transcription of videos

on

If you have a meeting recording but forgot to add transcriptions, it might be good to know automatic transcription will be added to files uploaded to SharePoint, Yammer or office.com. This feature is currently rolling out and should be generally available by late August. The feature is ON by default, but can be controlled by the set-SPOTenant command. If you are not familiar with how transcriptions work, here is a blogpost to get you up to speed.

Not the most technical update, but still an update that will be appreciated. According to roadmap item 127496, the number of channels per team will increase from 200 standard and 200 shared channels to 1000 channels combined + 30 private channels.  This should give organizations great flexibility within their teams. The feature is currently rolling out in preview, and should be generally available by the end of September.

Organizers of channel meetings should soon be able to also send invites directly to participants of the channel by a turn of a toggle in the invite. This will send invites directly to members' mailboxes, and the chances of missing a scheduled channel meeting should be something in the past. Roadmap item 142405 should be rolling out some time during August.
