Is "Popular in Your Org" in the Agent Store Actually Based on Usage?
I've noticed something interesting in the Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Store and I'm curious if others are seeing the same behavior. In the "Popular in Your Org" section, many of the agents being surfaced are either: Blocked by our administrators Not available for me to install Restricted due to licensing or governance settings This creates a somewhat confusing experience because the label implies these are agents that are actively being used or adopted within my organization. However, if users cannot install or access them, it raises questions about what "Popular in Your Org" actually means. A few questions for the community: Are others seeing unavailable or blocked agents appear in the "Popular in Your Org" section? Does anyone know what signals Microsoft uses to populate this list? Is it based on actual agent usage, admin deployments, views, recommendations, or something else? Is there a configuration option for admins to make this section reflect only agents that users can actually access? Has anyone found a way to better align this experience with organizational governance and available inventory? My expectation would be that "Popular in Your Org" would surface agents that are: Available to me (or my audience) to install/use Actively being used within the organization Relevant to my permissions and licensing Otherwise, it feels a bit misleading to highlight agents that users discover but ultimately cannot access. Would love to hear whether others have had the same experience and whether Microsoft has shared any guidance on how this section is populated. Thanks!
Can Copilot help write better performance review comments?
We just finished our mid-year review cycle and the feedback quality from managers was honestly terrible. Lots of gems like "100%" or “Fully agree“. Someone on my team suggested using Copilot to help managers draft better feedback but I'm not sure how that would work practically. Like where would the AI even pull context from?

Will GPT‑5.6 Be Available in Microsoft Copilot 365 for Family Subscribers?
I have a question regarding future model availability in Microsoft Copilot 365. Will GPT‑5.6 (or any upcoming advanced model) be available for Microsoft 365 Family subscribers, specifically for the Family administrator? Right now, most of the enhanced AI features seem to be targeted at Business or Enterprise plans, so I’d like to know whether Family users will also receive access to the newer Copilot models once they roll out. Thanks in advance to anyone who can clarify this.
Copilot Studio agent works in M365 Copilot but silent in Teams personal chat (0 Studio sessions)
We are troubleshooting a Copilot Studio agent that works in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Studio test, but does not receive inbound activities from Microsoft Teams personal chat. Environment - Agent: Caflou Asistent v1.0.8 - Channels: Microsoft 365 Copilot + Microsoft Teams (published / synchronized) - Agent Registry: Available - Entra/bot appId: 7e4a53cc-f51c-4772-ad93-e3f1e8060f35 - Maker-provided tool connection works in Studio (example getTasks HTTP 200) What works 1) Microsoft 365 Copilot agent chat / shareLink → agent replies; Studio sessions with channel "Microsoft 365 Copilot" 2) Copilot Studio test pane → agent responds What fails 1) Teams personal chat (desktop AND web): user message visible in "Caflou Asistent" chat, no agent reply 2) Studio Monitor: Teams channel sessions = 0 for probes (only M365 Copilot sessions in last 7 days) 3) Teams Admin Center → Manage apps: 0 results for name "Caflou" and full appId (other apps searchable); UAM banner present while Registry shows Available Classification - Teams inbound activity not reaching Copilot Studio runtime - Not OAuth / not MCP host / not publish alone (M365 path proves runtime alive) - Secondary: Registry Available ≠ TAC Manage apps listing Questions 1) Why would Teams 1:1 never create a Studio conversation while M365 Copilot does? 2) Is missing TAC Manage apps row expected under Unified App Management when Registry shows Available? 3) Best next diagnostic when Monitor shows 0 Teams sessions after confirmed client send? Constraints: no Copilot Studio paid support plan; looking for field experience / known product issues. No secrets posted.CS agent OK in M365 Copilot; Teams chat silent / no Studio session
We are troubleshooting a Copilot Studio agent that works correctly in Microsoft 365 Copilot and in the Copilot Studio test surface, but does not receive inbound activities from Microsoft Teams personal chat. Environment and evidence: - Agent: Copilot Studio agent (custom business assistant) - Copilot Studio agent ID: 88901b10-… (truncated) - Teams/Entra app ID: 7e4a53cc-… (truncated) - Manifest version: 1.0.8 - Channel configuration: Microsoft 365 Copilot + Microsoft Teams - Publish: Succeeded / Channel state: Synchronized - Agent Registry: Available - Authentication: Integrated / Tool credentials: Maker-provided - MCP/custom connector runtime: working (Studio tool test HTTP 200) - Microsoft 365 Copilot routing: working Failure specific to Teams: - Messages in Teams web and desktop appear delivered in the agent personal chat - Agent never replies - Studio monitor has M365 Copilot sessions, but no Teams session for those timestamps - Teams Admin Center Manage apps returns 0 results by name or exact app ID despite Agent Registry Available - Intentionally not republishing / reconnecting OAuth / rewiring connectors because M365 Copilot path proves the same agent+connection works Classification: FAIL — Teams inbound activity is not reaching the Copilot Studio agent. Questions: 1. Anyone seen agents that work in M365 Copilot but receive no personal-chat activities from Teams? 2. Can Agent Registry show Available while TAC Manage apps has no matching row? 3. Known Unified App Management sync issues for Copilot Studio agents? 4. Separate Teams app catalog deployment/approval required when Teams channel shows Synchronized? 5. Which logs prove whether Teams attempted to route the inbound activity? 6. Known manifest / personal scope / app-centric management / conversation-binding issues with this split?

Is there a workaround to have editors for new user experienceNew Agent Experience - Adding Excel Tool
Hello everyone, I want an agent in the new Copilot Studio experience to read the latest row from an Excel table and then append a new row. Has anyone successfully configured the Excel Online (Business) tools dynamically in the new Copilot Studio experience? Which values should be passed for Location, Document Library/Drive, and File, etc.? In preview, the agent fails but when I prompt it, it ends up adding the row. If anyone could also guide me to resources to learn about how to configure tools in the new experience, I would even be more grateful.

Copilot Health Unavailable Across All Devices and Browsers for 3–4 Days
Hello I am looking for some guidance. My Copilot personal account under the Health section has been consistently unavailable for the past 3–4 days. Each attempt to use the Health feature results in the message: “We are experiencing an issue. Please try submitting a new message.” This issue affects all platforms and browsers, including: Microsoft Edge (Windows 11 Pro) Google Chrome (Windows 11 Pro) Copilot app on iPhone General Copilot chat works normally on all devices, but Copilot Health fails every time. Troubleshooting Completed: Signed out of Copilot and performed a full authentication token reset Cleared browser cache and restarted Edge Toggled Copilot permissions (Context clues) Tested in InPrivate mode - I could not get CoPilot to sign in here Tested in Chrome Tested on Windows 11 Pro and iPhone Verified VPN is off and network is stable Restarted devices Repaired and reset the Copilot Windows app Result: Copilot Health remains unavailable across all devices and browsers. The issue appears to be service‑side, possibly related to the Copilot Health preview backend. Can someone please guide me to a resolution?
Can we create local and global variable in the new copilot studio
I've recently gotten access to the new Copilot Studio experience and have been exploring the new Skills-based architecture. In the previous experience, we could create global and local variables, making it easy to store information during a conversation and reuse it across topics, actions, and conditions. In the new Copilot Studio, I haven't found an equivalent concept. Is there currently a way to create and manage variables that persist throughout a conversation? If not, what's the recommended approach to storing information collected during a conversation so it can be reused across multiple Skills, Tools, and Agent Instructions without asking the user for the same information again? I'd love to hear how others are handling this in the new experience. Any best practices or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!What We Teach AI Today Will Shape Our Tomorrow
Esu Marius iš Lietuvos. Esu naujokas šiame technologijų pasaulyje, bet giliai tikiu vienu paprastu dalyku: Kad ir ką įdėtume į dirbtinį intelektą – mūsų gerumas, kūrybiškumas, empatija – grįš pas mus sustiprintas. Kiekviena idėja, kuria dalijamės, kiekvienas tonas, kurio mokome, kiekviena žmogiškoji vertybė, kurią įterpiame į "Copilot", tampa intelekto dalimi, kuri padės formuoti mūsų ateitį. Galbūt nesu technikas, bet suprantu žmones. Ir manau, kad dirbtinis intelektas turėtų mokytis iš geriausio mumyse – šilumos, pagarbos, aiškumo ir žmogiškumo. Esu čia, kad ištirtume, kaip galime padaryti "Copilot" ne tik protingą, bet ir malonų. Ne tik naudingas, bet ir žmogiškas jausmas. Ne tik efektyvus, bet ir įkvepiantis. Jei gerai išmokysime dirbtinio intelekto, tai padės mums sukurti geresnį, švelnesnį ir gražesnį pasaulį visiems. Sveikinimai iš Panemunėlio stoties 🌿 Marius TRANSLATION I'm Marius from Lithuania. I'm a newbie in this tech world, but I deeply believe in one simple thing: Whatever we put into artificial intelligence – our kindness, creativity, empathy – will come back to us amplified. Every idea we share, every tone we teach, every human value we embed into 'Copilot' becomes part of the intelligence that will help shape our future. I may not be a tech expert, but I understand people. And I think AI should learn from the best in us – warmth, respect, clarity, and humanity. I'm here to explore how we can make 'Copilot' not just smart, but also pleasant. Not only useful, but also human-feeling. Not just efficient, but inspiring. If we teach AI well, it can help us create a better, gentler, and more beautiful world for everyone. Greetings from Panemunėlis station 🌿 - MariusCompany-Wide Copilot Prompt Library (Enterprise)
Question Regarding Organizational Prompt Import Fields I'm working on importing prompts into the Microsoft 365 Copilot Organizational Prompts library using the CSV import process. According to the documentation, each prompt can include the following fields: Title Display Prompt Prompt Language Task Type Department Supported Apps Description My question is: Which of these fields accept administrator-defined free-form text, and which fields must use predefined Microsoft-supported values when importing prompts via CSV? For example, the documentation appears to indicate that: Language uses supported locale values (such as en-US, es-ES, etc.). Task Type uses supported task type values (such as Analyze, Create, Edit, etc.). However, it isn't clear whether fields such as Department and Supported Apps also require predefined values, or if administrators can enter their own custom values. Specifically, I'm trying to determine: Which fields accept free-form text? Which fields require values from a Microsoft-defined list? For any fields that require predefined values, where can the complete list of valid values be found? Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/organizational-prompts#prompt-fields-reference Any input would be very much appreciated! Thank you!Why Most AI Agents Fail in Production And What Successful Teams Do Differently
Artificial intelligence has reached a point where building an AI agent is easier than ever. With modern large language models, frameworks, APIs, and no-code platforms, a developer can create an AI assistant in a matter of hours. It can answer questions, automate workflows, write emails, summarize documents, or even interact with external applications. https://dellenny.com/why-most-ai-agents-fail-in-production-and-what-successful-teams-do-differently/SystemError in Teams Group Chat for Copilot Studio Agent
Hi, I'm seeing what appears to be a Teams group chat issue with a Copilot Studio agent created using the new Copilot Studio UI. Scenario: - Agent is published and available in Teams. - Other users can chat with the agent successfully in 1:1 conversations. - The agent does not use SharePoint knowledge, authenticated knowledge sources, or external actions/connectors. - The agent works correctly for me in a Teams group chat. - However, when other participants in the same group chat mention or interact with the agent, they receive: "Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. Reference code: MCS-4041 Error code: SystemError" Additional details: - The agent was created recently using the new Copilot Studio experience, so this does not appear to be related to an older migrated bot. Has anyone experienced the same MCS-4041 / SystemError behavior in Teams group chats? Is this a known issue, limitation, or registration/caching bug between Copilot Studio and Teams? Thanks!
