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

Security enhancements in Microsoft Teams

Collaboration Security for Microsoft Teams was announced back in March, but we are now seeing some of these features being released to customers subscribing to Microsoft Defender Plan 2.

Report suspicious chats or channels was one of these new features, and it should be rolling out during August. The feature is enabled by a new policy setting which is turned on by default. Admins can control this setting in the "messaging policies" in the Teams admin center.

Other features controlled by new policy settings are "URL blocking" and "ZAP protection".
