Issues with using Copilot on Outlook Calendars
Seems that Copilot cannot decipher calendars very well. I have tried several times to automate some work on Outlook Calendars and Copilot is completely lost when it comes to working with calendars. One example was when I tried to move 3 attendees from meetings I had scheduled out for several months from required to optional. It told me it did not have meetings with these 3 people in attendance but showed me events with these 3 people in attendance and asked if I wanted to look at these events!!! Also one other recent instance was to take a Group Calendar and just list out the daily events for the next several months. It seems like it is unable to work with calendars in Groups?
Copilot isn’t yet good at bulk calendar edits or Group Calendar listings. Manual edits or Power Automate are the practical alternatives until Microsoft improves calendar integration.
For Group Calendars, use Outlook or Teams to export/sync events, then Copilot can summarize from the exported list.

Sunita - Thank you so much! That is what I was afraid of but at least I know now what the capabilities are or lack thereof.
