Saving and sharing prompts in Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat coming soon.

on
A new and awaited feature is about to start rolling out for Microsoft Copilot licensed users. Users will soon be able to save, edit and manage their own prompts from Microsoft 365 Copilot Business Chat (BizChat). A prompt that is saved in BizChat can later be edited and managed in Copilot Lab.  The feature is associated with this roadmap item , and should start rolling out mid or late November. Also associated with the same Roadmap Item is the news of sharing prompts with your colleagues. Both features will be on by default, but I highly recommend organizations to update their training material and help users get the most out of Copilot.

The new Teams and an update on avatars

on


The new Teams is rolling out in GA, and all users will start to see the "New Teams" toggle soon, if it's not already there. For now, users can choose to switch back and forth between the clients, but admins can control how this toggle behaves. With the "Teams Update Policy" it is possible to choose what the default mode should be, let Microsoft control when it shifts or disable the new client all together. I am guessing the old client will be disabled in the end, but here is the guide on how to control things for now.

Here is a heads-up on changes to Avatars in Teams. First of all, there will be a new license introduced to eligible users (MESH_AVATARS_FOR_TEAMS). This will be added to users with one of the following licenses: Teams Essentials, Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Microsoft 365 Business Standard, Microsoft 365 Business Premium, Microsoft 365 E3/E5, and Office 365 E1/E3/E5.
Also, please note that avatars will not be available to users not meeting the minimum hardware requirement of a CPU with 2 cores and 6GB ram. This is done to ensure the right experience.
