Can Copilot send Teams notifications?
It seems the Teams dev team wants us to only get notifications for Teams meetings and they don't care if I miss all client meetings with Zoom or Google Meet links for bizarre and nefarious reasons. S...
Wrong place but I'll see if I can help you.
First of you won't get notifications for other meetings than Teams meeting because teams doesn't know that those meetings have started and those clients don't have APIs to tell Teams now this meeting has started.
You should get 15min notification from outlook IF they've sent you an meeting invite to your outlook.
So with that being said, if you want more notifications you can create a power automate flow that sends your a teams notification for all your meetings at the precise time. This would be rather simple 🙂

- I can never find the right place to ask in MS ecosystem -- there's like 7 forums for 365 and I can't tell where 365 apps begin and end (calendar for instance). I know it's super easy to parse text with machine learning tools. Should be super easy to just look at the text in a meeting using ML to determine if there's other meeting URLs in the meeting. That's why I'm looking at Copilot. I'm pretty technical so writing a script in Python to get Teams to function would be fantastic, should be very easy to implement so I'm hoping Copilot can do this. Power Automate is way too confusing, not designed for people with my skill set and isn't really supported on a Mac anyway. I'll also try to fix Teams with Apple Automator before I stab my brain with Power Automate, what a horrid tool.
- Yeah multiple products in the whole 365 suite, Calender should be under Outlook 🙂

I think you've gotten abit backward about how Copilot works and how Power automate works an possible mixing power automate and automate dekstop. 🙂
Power automate is competly web based as will trigger on web-based connector and APIs that are supported.
For example outlook or teams it will get the information from the webversion via graph api.
Power automate desktop is for repetive tasks that are local and this isn't supported by mac, but you won't need this anyways as above should handle everything for you 🙂
Copilot will generate content but it won't do Machine learning in for of automation. It's more you tell it what it needs and it try's to create it (or atleast a template)
So there won't be any need to script anything, what you need to do it trigger when a new event is create, check if it's a zoom meeting or google meets and schedule a notification when it's time.
This should be a good start as a guide you can modify, after getting the event you should be able to filter nd create a condition to check if it's a zoom meeting:
