Microsoft making it easier than ever to stay on top of your collaboration in Teams group chats. Coming soon is the capability to add Copilot agents to group chats, giving users a great tool to get on top of things, even if they have been away for parts of the conversation. Now, you might think this feature has been around for a long time, but notably, this feature will no longer require users to have a Copilot license to utilize it.  


Instead of being a Copilot feature like it is for licensed users today, it will be an agent users can add to the conversation. It will come with the regular Copilot enabled for all EntraID users, using Teams on Windows desktop, Mac desktop, and the web (no mention of mobile just yet). 

This feature is mentioned in Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 464988 and should be rolling out quite soon. It will be turned on by default.
