Event details
Is the Who app going to be deprecated within Teams?
- Yes, if you use Who in the New Teams it tells you Who Bot is being Deprecated by December 2023 and they are moving to CoPilot Actual text of notice; Who bot is being deprecated and will be replaced by Copilot https://aka.ms/m365copilotadoption in December 2023. Please check with your Tenant Admin to prepare for Copilot.
- We are an Educational (A) tenant and aren't able to use CoPilot right now (it's only available for E tenants). In addition, even when it arrives for A tenants, if it's the same pricing, it will be $30/month/user with a minimum of 300 users. That means that Microsoft is essentially removing the Who Bot functionality for non-E tenants. Even for E tenants, that's a massive amount of money just to replace Who Bot, and many places won't be able to afford it or don't want it...they just want Who Bot. Is it possible that the CoPilot replacement for Who Bot will be available to all kind of as a tease for the functionality, but without all the massive lift of the general CoPilot functionality in a given tenant?
- I'm not sure on all the details but some Copilot integration is included with some of the MS Office subscriptions / Products. I think there is more information available on the page linked in the Copilot page. If I was in your position, I would reach out to my Microsoft Reseller or whomever supplies your licenses.
