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.

Clipchamp coming to Visual Creator in Microsoft 365 Copilot

on

Clipchamp will soon integrate with Visual Creator in Microsoft 365 Copilot, enabling users to effortlessly create videos by simply typing a prompt. Clipchamp will generate a custom script, find available high-quality stock footage, and assemble a video project complete with music, voiceover, text overlays, and transitions. After initial creation, this initial draft can be further edited in the Clipchamp app and exported as an mp4 file for distribution. 

As mentioned, the feature sources it images from existing stock media from Microsoft 365 service asset libraries, it does not create actual new video material.  

Organizations should consider updating their training and adoption material to include the new agent and the Clipchamp tool for content creators. 

This feature is mentioned in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 402192, and it should be rolling out in the February-March time-frame.
