Has anyone seen any mention of Copilot Chat access via Teams? They don't mention it at all in the message center posts. Will Copilot Chat (basic) users still be able to access Copilot Chat via the Chat pane in Microsoft Teams after April 15?

    Since the chat pane in Teams is just an entry point to the same experience as you have in m365.cloud.microsoft/chat , I don't think Microsoft would want to remove that from any audience. The real contextual Copilot in Microsoft Teams (meeting transcripts etc.) will naturally remain a premium-only feature.

    This is of course what makes any feature lists so difficult for Microsoft to get right. Because just because you can access Copilot in Microsoft Teams, it does not mean you have access to the "Copilot in Microsoft Teams" features.😆

      Thanks, that was helpful. I agree - hard to explain to end-users.
