CoPilot in Outlook for multiple mailboxes?
Hello everyone, my customer wants to use CoPilot in Outlook for more than one mailbox. I just learned that CoPilot in Outlook is only available for the users primary mailbox. Of course I'm not happy about that, but let's put the complaints aside for a moment. What if we buy a Copilot license for multiple users and add their mailboxes to Outlook. I'm not talking about delegation or shared mailboxes, I'm talking about adding multiple mailboxes with different users. Will that give me access to CoPilot scenarios for all those mailboxes? I have my doubts, because I assigned a CoPilot license to a user with an Exchange Online P1 license, which was configured in Outlook as a second user, and the CoPilot feature did not show up. If anyone is able to use CoPilot in Outlook for multiple mailboxes, please let me know how you did that. Thanks a lot, Christian Toller tethis IT e.U.

Recently Microsoft announced the New Prompt Gallery: New Copilot Prompt Gallery helps you discover, save, and share your favorite prompts | Microsoft Community Hub. From a business perspective: Where are the personal prompts saved and how are they protected by the enterprise data protection?Copilot for iOS provides non-clickable links in conv.
I asked Copilot to create an amortization spreadsheet, and it provided a download link in orange-colored text, as opposed to the usual black-colored conversation tectonic. However the “link” was non-clickable, and with a long-press, all Copilot offered to do was select the text. Please ensure that links provided by Copilot are actually actionable. Here’s the tracking info for my conversation … ============ I apologize for the trouble. You can report the issue by providing the following details: 1. **Conversation ID**: `2024-11-29-0913-XYZ` 2. **Description**: The download link provided for the Excel file is not clickable. 3. **Steps to Reproduce**: - Asked for an amortization spreadsheet with sporadic monthly payments. - Requested the file to be sent as an XLSX download link. - Attempted to click the provided link, but it was unresponsive. Reporting this will help the team address the issue. Thanks for your patience! ========= My iOS device is the iPhone SE 2022 (2nd gen) running iOS 18.1.1 with the latest Copilot app.
Copilot not creating new documents
Hi I'm hoping someone can help. My company has just invested in Copilot for my team on my request and some of the functions it purports to have don't seem to work. When I ask it to create new word documents from a template, it tells me it is generating the documents but never actually does. Similarly, when I ask it to copy information from a word document and paste it into a spreadsheet, it tells me it has done it but hasn't. Has anyone else experienced this or know a fix for it? If it can't actually do this and create one document based on another document then its usefulness to me is vastly reduced. ThanksCopilot agent unable to view meeting recordings in folder?
I want to have an agent that can query the recording from recurring meetings. When I point the agent to a single recording (.mp4), I can ask the agent questions about it. However, when I point the agent to a folder with recordings, it's like the agent doesn't even know that there's files there. Is this a limitation or a bug?
Copilot not able to see SharePoint lists
No matter how I try to prompt, Copilot seems to not know about the existence of SharePoint lists (it doesn't talk about them when asked or pull any information from them when asked a very targeted prompt). Is there anything that needs to be configured to make this possible or is it just a bug? Thanks for any insight.Error when I try to open one of my copilots
Hi, I've created new copilots in Microsoft 365 > Copilot. Once published, I try to open them, but they don't display in the right side bar. If I search the name of the copilot from the search bar in Microsoft 365, the name of the copilot is displayed > I click on it, and I get the following error message : "Unable to load the requested application. No static tabs configured". (translated from french) Can you help me please ?
Disable the Copilot icon prompt in Word
I don't want to entirely disable Copilot in Word - I like that I can click the button on the ribbon and launch it and use it when needed. However, is there a way to disable the icon that appears on the actual page of a new document (see image below)? [I can't tell you how many times I launch a new document and paste into the Copilot box instead of on the actual page. ] TIA! (If not possible, I'll make it a suggestion through the app/Feedback portal.)
Copilot Icon Missing in New Outlook
Hi - I believe this has been posted before but didn't see a resolution. I had the Copilot icon appear in new Outlook in the top right/taskbar a couple of weeks ago. Recently it disappeared. The Summary By Copilot for an email thread and Draft with Copilot are still available; this is for the overall Copilot functions for Outlook. Obviously I have the correct license setup as the icon was there before but is no longer there now. Is working/does show in Word, PPT and Excel. Any info would be appreciated.How to use Copilot Agents in SharePoint [All You Need To Know]
The creation of Copilot Agent is now enabled in SharePoint 🚀. Users holding M365 Copilot licenses will notice a new Copilot feature in the Suite Navigation bar, tailored to the site they are currently viewing. Additionally, they will find options to create Copilot agents from the 'New' menu on the homepage and within their document libraries. These features are accessible only to users with existing creation and editing rights on the site or document library. Moreover, they have the option to share a Copilot agent link with other users, who, if they possess a Microsoft 365 Copilot license, will be able to interact with it. #SharePoint #MicrosoftSharePoint #Microsoft365 #MPVbuzz #Copilot #AII want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
I have seen a few articles on this website, and I know it's not possible but I'm going to ask anyway. For reference this is what I'm referring to: It's more I find the little thing following me around on my screen to be annoying and distracting, I've managed to hide or disable anything related to copilot on my system except this little dingbat. When a new document is open you get a little message that says "Select the icon or press Alt + i to draft with copilot" It would be nice if I could hide that as well, yes copilot is a *feature*, and I don't care about it. I also want to hide the paste with copilot and just used the local paste options that were built into previous versions of word. I suspect that there is a copilot dingbat that is stored somewhere on my system, possibly in a font, and as I have already made a few detrimental modifications to my operating system registry, I'm not wary of messing up my computer any more than it could be. The only saving grace I have at the moment is there is an issue with my account, so any accidental triggering of the feature causes it to crap out. (So long as I don't accidentally press the 'fix account" button) I know that if it was easy to turn off there would be a button for it, I know Microsoft probably wants us to use this feature because it means more data for them to collect, an I'm disappointed in the loss of user agency that's resulted from this rollout, and there's a spike in animosity towards AI in general.Help with Conditional Logic for Keyword Detection in Copilot Studio
Hi everyone, I'm working on a project in Copilot Studio and need some help with setting up conditional logic to detect keywords in user questions. Specifically, I want the system to respond differently when a question contains certain keywords, such as "FORD". Here’s what I’m aiming to do: When a question includes the keyword "ford", I want to activate a specific set of knowledge resources or responses. If the question does not contain this keyword, I want it to trigger a different response path. I've tried using functions like contains and IndexOf, but Copilot Studio doesn’t seem to recognize them. I’m looking for a way to implement this logic or an alternative approach to achieve similar results. Is there a built-in function in Copilot Studio that allows checking for keyword presence in a string? Or are there any workarounds for implementing this type of keyword-based branching? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Why does Copilot stop answering?
Frequently when using Copilot, it will stop answering with a message insisting on a change of topic. These refusals to respond don't seem to be associated with the topic under discussion or any objectionable material, but are entirely random. Starting a new topic and restating the unanswered question just gives the same "change topic" message. The only fix is to shut Copilot down and try again later. Needless to say, this is suboptimal. Does anyone know what's going on around here and how to fix it?
Microsoft's Copilot: A Frustrating Flop in AI-Powered Productivity
Microsoft's Copilot was supposed to be the game-changer in productivity, but it's quickly proving to be a massive disappointment. The idea was simple: integrate AI directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office tools to make our lives easier. But when it comes to actually performing specific functions, Copilot falls flat. Here’s the problem: when you ask Copilot to alter a document, modify an Excel file, or adjust a PowerPoint presentation, it’s practically useless. Instead of performing the tasks as requested, it often leaves you hanging with vague suggestions or instructions. Users don't want to be told how to perform a task—they want it done. This is what an AI assistant should do: execute commands efficiently, not just offer advice. What makes this even more frustrating is that other AI tools, like ChatGPT, can handle these tasks effortlessly. When you ask ChatGPT to perform a specific function, it does so without hesitation. It’s able to understand the request and deliver exactly what’s needed. But Copilot? It struggles with the basics, and that’s unacceptable, especially from a company like Microsoft. It’s frankly embarrassing that Microsoft can’t get this right. The whole point of integrating AI into these tools was to streamline workflows and boost productivity. But if Copilot can’t even manage simple tasks like formatting a document or adjusting a spreadsheet, then what’s the point? Users don’t need another tool that tells them how to do something—they need one that does it for them. Microsoft, you’ve missed the mark with Copilot. It's not just a minor inconvenience; it's a serious flaw that undermines the value of your Office suite. When other AI tools can easily accomplish what Copilot can't, it's time to reevaluate. Users expect more, and frankly, they deserve more for their investment. What’s been your experience with Copilot? Is anyone else finding it as frustrating as I am? Let’s talk about it.CoPilot Microsoft Account login shows unknown account
Hi, I have installed copilot on iphone. While logging in using the 'Microsoft Account', it shows me 4 accounts. One of them is my personal account and two are my office accounts. But then it shows me a third hotmail.com that I don't recognize at all. I have cleared any cache from Chrome Safari or Edge. I have also paused and started the syncing of 'Passwords' to iCloud. But nothing has helped. Please help. I am sure this falls under the Security and Compliance category and should be seriously looked into.

Yesterday I started observing an issue where I'm unable to copy and paste html into the prompt. I'm using Copilot for business. I've been able to replicate the issue across multiple browsers and restarted for good measure. Originally posted this in the MS Office community and a moderator suggested I post here too: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/copilot-wont-allow-me-to-copy-and-paste-html-code/68336ee7-4bf8-47e5-848a-77d8cb22504f Anyone found a fix for this? How can we highlight this issue to Microsoft?
