For usage of Copilot during a Channel Meeting that is being recorded and transcribed, it appears that the content generated only stays as long as I'm in the Copilot panel. If I switch to Chat and then back to Copilot panel, my previously generated content is gone. However, during non-Channel meetings that is being recorded and transcribed, the Copilot content stays even if I jump into other panels like Chat or Notes. When I come back to Copilot everything that it previously generated from my earlier prompts is there. Will Channel Meetings be updated to have Copilot function the same as it does in non-Channel Meetings?

Copilot is currently available during the meeting for Channel meetings. For post-meeting, you need will need to use Copilot in Stream on top of the recording since there is currently no Meeting Recap for Channel meetings.

Alyson_Ginesta - thank you for the information. However, there is an issue with Copilot during a Channel meeting. The results from prompting only stay in the side panel as long as you have the Copilot panel open. If you go to look at chat or maybe you want to see the list of people, then go back to Copilot panel - all of your previously generated content is gone. This does not happen during a regular Teams meeting. The Copilot-generated content in a regular meeting stays in the panel even if you close the panel and go to chat and then back to Copilot again.
This current function during Channel meetings limits you from doing anything else in the Channel meeting unless you are constantly copying the output before opening/switching to other panels.
During Channel meetings will the Copilot-generated content only display while the Copilot panel is active, then you will need to re-prompt to get your results back?
- Irene_CrellinCopper ContributorIs there a functionality within Microsoft Teams' copilot to standardize the summarization of information from calls, particularly for scenarios like a discovery sales call where a consistent set of questions is asked

The output of Copilot in Teams can only be manipulated by the input (the prompt). We offer a sales-specific version of Copilot with our Copilot for Sales offering that has customized Copilot's output for sales specific scenarios and to align with common sales methodologies.
- kmaluegCopper ContributorIs the Follow button in Outlook available to Macs?
- GrouchLifeBrass ContributorGreat presentation. I've been diving into Copilot 365, and it seems there's a potential for confusion among users regarding the multiple Copilot icons within a Copilot 365 app. Take Word for example, there are multiple Copilot icons, each with separate functions. Essentially, you're working with two separate Copilots —one within the document for generating\manipulating content etc... and another on the side for providing overall information and general document formatting. I believe clarifying this distinction could greatly enhance users' confidence in navigating the tool effectively. Or simply include "one" Copilot button per app...to rule them all!! My 2 cents 🙂

is there a way for end users to see their copilot history? in this link one can only delete the history but not view it https://myaccount.microsoft.com/settingsandprivacy/privacy
this has been answered here: (1) Measuring usage, adoption, and the impact of Microsoft Copilot | Tech Accelerator
- ERobillardBrass ContributorOther meeting summary services make it possible to generate recaps for meetings in other tenants and even on other services - fireflies.ai is one that a customer used before I had Copilot in my own tenant. Can I invite Copilot to a meeting hosted by another org and have it provide me with a transcript and recap?

In order for Copilot to work, the user must be licensed for Copilot for M365 AND that user must be a member of the meeting host tenant. In other words, if I'm licensed for Copilot and I attend a meeting organized by another company, I will not be able to use it. If that other company who is hosting the meeting does have user licensed for Copilot, they (and not me) will be able to use it. In other words, Copilot can only work when a.) you are licensed for it and b.) your tenant is hosting the meeting. Hope that helps!- ATLearoDOccasional Reader
Does the other user need to have Copilot turned on in their settings? I recently had a meeting with a big tech company and attempted to use Copilot, but it didn't work. The only possibility is that the admin might have had Copilot turned off at the admin level.

- ToddWeathersbyCopper ContributorWhere do I find these new marketing videos for Copilot in each of the M365 Apps? These are better and I would like to share with my team.

Great! Check out our Microsoft 365 YouTube channel for more Copilot videos: https://www.youtube.com/@Microsoft365/videos
- kmaluegCopper ContributorFor summaries and insights the video mentioned that Copilot with look for your name in @mentions. Would you suggest that companies start using @mentions for a person's name so that the content becomes accessible to Copilot? Or can Copilot also find you if someone just uses your name without an @mention?
- Aaron-Halfaker

We have ways to detect names without @mentions. For example, sharepoint search can match a name "lexically" -- documents and communication containing a specific text will be matched when searching for that specific text (e.g. "Aaron Halfaker" for me). So long as a name is unique, it can be found that way. But it's much easier to know who is being referred to when a @mention is used. There are, of course, secondary effects of @mentions in that they lead to notifications so you may choose not to @mention in some circumstances and that is fine. But the cost is that retrieving documents and communications without and @mention will be less consistent and predictable. One of the super powers of language models is that they can often work out who is being referred to from context. E.g. if someone sends an email to a group and refers to someone by their first name only, the language model can be smart enough to cross-reference the "To" and "CC" list on the email to disambiguate who exactly is being referred to. But we make the language model's job easier and thus it's outputs more consistent when we don't require it to cross reference in order to make sense of what we need it to understand for us.
