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.

Using Copilot agents in Teams group chats for all

on

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.
