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.

A new feature in Teams: Share contact information in chat. And one feature change: Web pages will open in browser

on


Microsoft Teams makes it easier to share contact information for easier collaboration. Within a chat it will now be possible to use the @ mention to bring up a contact card you can send and share with others within your organization. Helping your colleagues connect with one another just got easier.

Another change in Teams, is how the "website tab" inside a channel behaves. In the coming weeks and months, webpages will no longer be displayed in the tab, but rather open a seperate web browser tab (your default). This is to better align with emerging best practices in web security and privacy while also improving the reliability of websites.
