Sharing your Copilot notebooks - Is being rolled out

on
Microsoft is rolling a new update to Copilot Notebooks that make collaboration even easier: the ability to share Copilot Notebooks with your colleagues.  Personally, I like Notebooks because they feel almost like small, personal agents I don’t have to configure. They give me a safe space to collect notes and documents and then work on them over time. With this update, that personal space can become a shared space for a selected group of  colleagues, without compromising security or permissions. I think it is also important to note that your chat and chat history within the Notebook stays private. The web rollout began in late October and will finish by December, while mobile access starts in early November and are related to the Microsoft 365 Roadmap ( ID 506851 )  You can also read more about the Copilot Notebooks experience on the Microsoft website here . If you like this update and want to stay informed about similar improvements, feel free to follow me on LinkedIn!

New meeting feature coming soon, control what the audience can see

on

The "Manage what attendees see" feature in Microsoft Teams is designed to help organizers deliver polished meetings or events by simplifying the attendee view and keeping the focus on participants who have been brought on screen. Previously, this was limited to webinars, but it seems this feature is coming as an option organizers can set on their meetings. Instead of automatically displaying shared content, it will first appear in the Manage screen’s left panel. An organizer or presenter must manually bring it on screen, preventing unintended interruptions and ensuring a smoother attendee experience. Additionally, presenters will now see their content displayed instead of a text message indicating they are sharing. For mobile users, only participants or content that has been brought on screen will be visible.

This is a different kind of meeting, where the intention is more of a one-to-many delivery, rather than a regular meeting. But I do think it makes it easier for users to organize these types of events with this new feature, rather than having to set up a dedicated webinar.

To configure the feature in an upcoming meeting (when the feature has become available to you), follow these simple instructions from Microsoft user guides.

According to the message center, this feature will start it's rollout in early April (already happening), and should be completed by the end of the month.
