Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption communities
We have recently launched a Viva Engage Community at our university to support the adoption of MS365 Copilot and are in the process of having this converted to a 'Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption community' type (see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/engage-365-copilot-adoption-platform) as we didn't know this Community type existed at the time of creation. We are finding Viva Engage to be a very helpful way to exchange knowledge and co-create best practice guidance on the use of MS365 Copilot and feel this will become increasingly important as staff learn to create, publish and share Agents in SharePoint and other environments. I would be interested to hear how other organisations are using Viva Engage to support MS365 Copilot adoption - particularly those working in higher education or similar fields.NickKearnsFeb 15, 2025Copper Contributor27Views0likes0CommentsMicrosoft'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.Stephanie HobackFeb 15, 2025Brass Contributor9.7KViews18likes25CommentsHow 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 #AI4KViews7likes18CommentsTeams Meeting - transcription doesn't work
Since several days the transcriptions in Team meetings are not working, not available. Copilot Service Status is healthy. Basic solutions as clearing the cache is a no solution. Multiple Copilot licensed users have this problem. Other users with this problem? Raising a ticket, with problem that 1st line support doesn't know what and where to troubleshoot?

I wanted to raise some disappointing limitations of Copilot in Word which would benefit from Microsoft implementing a solution. Or happy to be guided if it's simply a case of my own lack of knowledge... If I create content within Word, it doesn't create/provide links to references used (although it does do so if same request is done via Copilot in Teams/Copilot Chat) if I use the copilot icon in the blank page to creat/make request, after actioning my request is not visible, i.e. does not retain history of requests It does not edit content I've provided to reformat it. for example I gave it the following request "This document is an informative article. I would like you to reformat it so the text is split across two columns on each page. Also enhance it with suitable images and call-out boxes" it failed to action. A lot of my time is often spent on formatting/designing etc which is where AI would have been helpful.KazAlamFeb 14, 2025Copper Contributor12Views1like0CommentsMS Copliot - Shared Mailbox
Hi All, Please let me know if the MS Copilot can respond to our prompts in context to specific common/shared mailbox. This is scenario like support person will have access to common/shared mailbox for this support, which he may like to summarize, draft, catchup emails from the M365 Copilot chat. Many thanks in advance. Thanks DuraimuruganSolvedDuraiDJFeb 14, 2025Copper Contributor5.9KViews4likes7CommentsCopilot Chat not available in M365 Family?
I was online with MS Support with this issue. The chat bot gave up and referred me here. I have M365 Family and Copilot Pro licenses. Copilot works fine in the office apps. All apps are fully updated as is my MS account. In M365 starter app when choosing Copilot I am greeted with the message "Copilot Chat will soon be available for Personal and Family subscriptions". Same happens in the online browser-version. MS Support confirmed that Copilot Chat was released to Family subsriptions on January 16th - also in Denmark where I live. Any advice on how to enable Copilot Chat?knorskovFeb 14, 2025Copper Contributor59Views1like3CommentsIs/will Copilot in Teams able to follow/process shared content in Teams Meetings?
My team frequently uses Teams meetings for code reviews and discussions to share screen and view each other's work. Is Copilot in Teams able to see/process shared content along with spoken audio to provide a wholistic summary of meeting content? This may also be useful in the case of shared files or live collaboration on M365 files like Word documents or PowerPoint presentations.cyclingtrav925Feb 13, 2025Copper Contributor904Views0likes4Comments"Copilot in Edge at work" isn't available
For the past few days, 'Copilot in Edge at work' has not been available. The user is assigned an M365 E5 license and is signed into Microsoft Edge with their company account. The Copilot button is present but points to the Copilot for personal use. When using it, the message 'Unfortunately, you have reached the limit for messages you can send to Bing within 24 hours. Please check back soon!' appears directly. Access via m365.cloud.microsoft/chat works perfectly. However, it would be great if access was also possible in Edge in the secure corporate environment.ChristophFeb 13, 2025Copper Contributor94Views1like3Comments
