The second most common phrase said on a Teams meeting is "Can you hear me now." Do you know the most common phrase? "You're muted." Well Microsoft Teams will soon introduce a new way to indicate that your mic is working. If the meeting can hear you, then you will be included in the meeting transcript and recording, and Copilot can answer questions about what you said. Do you know what else in will be able to answer questions about? "Can you see my screen? OK good." We are intrested to learn what Copilot will analyse from content shared on screen in a meeting. What kind of questions will it be able to answer?

We can confirm now that Microsoft will make Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat available to use for organisational accounts without an M365 Copilot license. It will use a Pay As You Go model, just like Syntex. But the details are not complete. How much is it? Is it the whole M365 Copilot experience? How do we limit access to it? Why has this message been updated already? Actually, at the time of writing this video description... where is the message?

The story continues to develop about accessing Microsoft 365 Copilot and making it available to all users with an Entra ID. Copilot Agents will be available to use within Teams group chats, whether you are licensed with M365 Copilot or not.

When you share a document from OneDrive, expect to see a simplified user experience with fewer choices to make. The Sharing window will let you enter an email address or group name to share a file with, set if it's view only or edit, add a message.
