Editing Slides with Copilot Never works

Whenever I open PowerPoint and try to edit a slide using copilot I'm always met with:

"Sorry I can't do that."

Even when following the demo provided in the success kit to a T :

when using the exact same prompt:

It Instead gives a summary, that isn't even 3 main points.

 

Using a more precise prompt:

 

This is not a one of case, I've attempted to showcase the "Editing a slide with copilot" feature multiple times and it always manages to embarrass me.:cryingwithlaughter:

    We are doing an internal trial and have been getting this feedback as well. It seems to work best when making a deck from scratch vs working with existing content.

    Same here, but strangely I was able to edit slides fine a week ago and earlier, it seems this response is a new issue that is popping up. If I try the following prompts I am met with that same "error" message:

    Add transitions to each slide
    Anything with font adjustments
    Add effects to a slide

    All of these worked up until this week when one of our users reported they could not edit a slide.

      SamRoeseler This used to work for me too about a month ago but now can't edit anything.  It just says sorry can't do that and want's me to ask questions about the deck.
