- I've been able to do this via Teams CoPilot, asking via prompt to find free time between me and others 🙂
- Absolutely Andy, I use this too! It's mainly for those in-context emails and email chains. Further info in my reply to Zack below 🙂
Hi Michael, thanks for your question! Asking Copilot to help find times for a group and getting the meeting scheduled is something we are actively working on. Please follow our public roadmap for updates - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?rtc=1&filters=Outlook&searchterms=copilot. Let us know if there's specific functionality you are looking for or scenarios that you are thinking of and we can pass this along to our product team.
Thanks Zack! For specific functionality, it is being able to ask Copilot in Outlook to arrange a meeting based off an email chain.
So imagine an email chain between you and 4 colleagues, and you agree that you need to meet to discuss. Asking Copilot for some mutually available time between your colleagues and yourself, including the duration that you'd like the meeting to be.
Understand that functionality is somewhat available in Copilot Chat, however a) this thread is about Copilot in Outlook and b) this is very useful 'in context' functionality where a user can seamlessly ask Copilot to find and arrange time based on the email chain.
- It might be a game changer and a good productivity boost However, access to individual calendars and activities might pose a sensitive challenge. Cost Vs Benefits might not justify its implementation for general public but for an individual family or group might be implemented easily in the settings menu options.
- A key functionality we would like to see in this space is for it to work with delegate access. It's usually administrative assistants who need to find time on manager's calendars. Without delegate access, this feature is limited in its effectiveness.
