Still Contributing, Still Supporting the Community — But Still Questioning the MVP Decision
I still don’t understand the reason behind my rejection from the Microsoft MVP Program. For years, I have been actively contributing to the tech community in Tunisia through free events, international conferences, training sessions, mentoring, and knowledge sharing around Microsoft technologies, Data, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, and AI. I proudly represent my country in many community initiatives and continue supporting professionals and students with passion and dedication. What makes this decision difficult to understand is the lack of clear feedback or explanation regarding the refusal. Transparency is important, especially in a global program that values community impact and leadership. I will continue contributing to the community with the same energy and commitment, because community work is bigger than any title.
MVP Nomination form for filling in community activities did not save
Hi MVP team, I have been nominated by another MVP. I tried many times to create community activities, but the page didn't save my information. I started from scratch on a different computer with a private web browser. But it still does not work. Can anyone help me investigate it, or does anyone else face the same problem as I do? I also sent an email to mvpga I'm waiting for them to reply, but my submission deadline is 12 Feb 2026. I hope to fill out the form before the deadline. Thank you for any suggestions. Best regards, PitiFeedback Request: Seamless Context Retention Between Voice and Text Modes in Copilot
בקשת שיפור: שימור הקשר בין מצב קולי לצ'אט כתוב ב־Copilot מאת: מיכאל, MS MVP (ישראל) נושא: שיחה רציפה והקשר נשמר בין קול לכתב תיוגים: Copilot, VoiceChat, ContextRetention, CrossModeSync, AI usability, Excel integration, MS MVP, User Experience, Productivity, Accessibility Feedback Request: Seamless Context Retention Between Voice and Text Modes in Copilot From: Michael, MS MVP (Israel) Topic: Improve continuity and preserve context when switching between voice and text conversations in Copilot Tags: Copilot, VoiceChat, ContextRetention, CrossModeSync, AI usability, Excel integration, MS MVP, User Experience, Productivity, Accessibility Description: Currently, when transitioning between voice and text modes in Copilot, the ongoing conversation context is lost, resulting in a fresh and disconnected session. This poses challenges for users engaged in technical workflows (e.g., Excel functions, coding steps, formula exploration), where discussion begins in voice and requires visual follow-up in text — yet the system fails to remember what was just discussed. Use Case: A user verbally asks for help creating a complex Excel formula. After several minutes of voice dialog, they switch to text mode to view and refine the formula — only to discover that Copilot no longer remembers the earlier voice interaction, forcing redundant explanation and a break in continuity. Suggested Improvements: Enable persistent conversation memory across modes Automatically bring recent voice summary into the next text session Introduce an intelligent switch that allows users to move from voice to text (and back) with full context preserved Support visual rendering (e.g., formulas, graphs) within voice sessions Value to Users: This improvement would dramatically boost workflow efficiency, reduce friction in technical tasks, and allow users to engage naturally — choosing the mode best suited to their needs without sacrificing consistency. תיאור: בעת מעבר בין שיחה קולית לצ'אט כתוב ב־Copilot, לא נשמר ההקשר הקודם. השיחה מתחילה מחדש, דבר שמפריע במיוחד בשיח טכני בו מבקשים תוכן חזותי (למשל נוסחה או קוד) אחרי שדנים בו בקול. מקרה שימוש: המשתמש שואל בקול איך ליצור נוסחה מורכבת באקסל. לאחר שיחה קולית ארוכה, הוא עובר לצ'אט כדי לראות אותה בכתב — אך מגלה ש־Copilot שכח את השיחה הקודמת. צריך לחזור על הכול מחדש. הצעות לשיפור: שימור הקשר מלא במעבר בין קול לכתב סיכום קולי אוטומטי שיופיע בצ'אט כתוב מעבר חכם בין המצבים תוך שמירת רצף אפשרות להציג תוכן טכני גם בשיחה קולית ערך למשתמשים: חוויית שימוש חכמה, טבעית ורציפה ללא הפרעות. מתאים במיוחד למשתמשים טכניים, אנשי מקצוע, תלמידים וכל מי שעובד באופן דינמי ומעמיק. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to explore this idea further. I’d be happy to help.
