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.

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.
