Unleash Your Potential with Microsoft 365 Copilot: An AMA to Ignite your Productivity

Copilot seems to have some serious limitations placed on it in terms of what customers it has been offered to on this first wave for general release.

All previous documentation references Business Premium being an alternative to Enterprise licences for Copilot for Microsoft 365 (including during previous AMAs on this tech hub).

It was then announced that Copilot will only be available for customers on the Enterprise suite and it would require 300 users to be enrolled as a minimum. This has created a massive barrier to entry.

Some rough napkin maths gave a rough figure of £187k per annum "buy in" cost based on the current minimum requirements (300 x £30 pm (Copilot) + 300 x £22 pm (E3)), though this would likely be higher as E5 has a lot of the minimum requirements for firms on Business Premium.

Question: When is Microsoft opening up Copilot for Microsoft 365 for Business Premium customers (and less than 300 seats)?
