Issues with using Copilot on Outlook Calendars
Seems that Copilot cannot decipher calendars very well. I have tried several times to automate some work on Outlook Calendars and Copilot is completely lost when it comes to working with calendars. One example was when I tried to move 3 attendees from meetings I had scheduled out for several months from required to optional. It told me it did not have meetings with these 3 people in attendance but showed me events with these 3 people in attendance and asked if I wanted to look at these events!!! Also one other recent instance was to take a Group Calendar and just list out the daily events for the next several months. It seems like it is unable to work with calendars in Groups?Best Practices for Copilot Studio Environment Strategy and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM)
As organizations increasingly adopt Microsoft Copilot Studio to build intelligent copilots, virtual assistants, and AI-powered business solutions, establishing a robust environment strategy and Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) framework becomes critical. While creating copilots is relatively straightforward, managing them across development, testing, and production environments requires careful planning to ensure scalability, security, governance, and operational excellence. https://dellenny.com/best-practices-for-copilot-studio-environment-strategy-and-application-lifecycle-management-alm/
Copilot Chat missing in Outlook Web and Outlook Classic
Hello, since recently we are experiencing a tenant wide issue with Microsoft Copilot Chat in Outlook. Environment: Microsoft 365 Business Premium Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat enabled Copilot Chat is pinned for all users via admin settings Copilot Chat works in other Microsoft 365 apps (e.g. Word) Copilot Chat is missing in Outlook Web (OWA) and Outlook Classic for all users in the tenant Key details: No recent admin, policy, or licensing changes were made Copilot Chat does not appear in OWA, which suggests a backend or service side issue The behavior is consistent for all users Questions: Is anyone else seeing Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat disappear from Outlook Web or Outlook Classic tenant wide? Has Microsoft changed the availability or scope of Copilot Chat in Outlook recently? Are there known dependencies or rollout changes that affect Copilot Chat visibility in Outlook specifically? Any confirmation from other tenants or additional technical insight would be helpful.Copilot Studio Preview : MCP Agent works in Teams but not in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat
I’m currently testing the new preview version of Copilot Studio and I ran into a behavior I’d like to validate with the community. I created a custom Copilot agent using the new interface, connected to a Microsoft Learn MCP server (for retrieving official documentation), and deployed it across both: - Microsoft Teams - Microsoft 365 Copilot (Copilot Chat) Configuration-wise, everything seems correctly set up: - Agent published - Channel enabled for Teams and Microsoft 365 Copilot - Permissions and access configured - MCP tool working properly Here is the key point: - In Microsoft Teams: The agent works perfectly. It correctly calls the MCP server, retrieves Microsoft Learn documentation, and returns accurate responses. - In Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat: The same agent does not work at all. No MCP call is triggered, and no response is generated from the agent. Instead, Copilot returns the following message: "Sorry, I am not able to find a related topic. Can you rephrase and try again?" Even with: - Explicit invocation using @AgentName - Very simple prompts - Minimal instructions - Added knowledge sources (for testing) The behavior remains the same. At this point, it looks like: - The agent is accessible and deployed - But it is not actually executed by the Microsoft 365 Copilot runtime Has anyone experienced the same behavior with agents in the new Copilot Studio preview, especially when using MCP tools? Is there any known limitation or requirement for agents to be properly executed inside Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (compared to Teams)? Thanks in advance for your feedback.Deleted Copilot Chats and Temporary Chat: What End Users Should Know
I published a short video for end users who are asking a practical Copilot question: Can employers see deleted Copilot chats? The question usually starts when users see the “Permanently delete chat?” warning in Copilot. That warning can be easy to misunderstand, especially in work or school accounts where workplace policies may still apply. The video explains this in plain language, including: What users should understand before deleting Copilot chats Why Temporary Chat needs a closer look Why deleted from your view may not mean the same thing in a workplace account What users should avoid typing into Copilot at work Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/ND9Cdp5h9rs?si=FyBkInRHpVgc_x1I Supporting article: https://traccreations4e.com/can-employers-see-deleted-copilot-chats/ Related deletion guide: https://traccreations4e.com/copilot-delete-chat-history/ traccreations4e-p26 6/8/2026
Can Microsoft Frontier Program Copilot Cowork Agent Delegate Tasks to Other Copilot Agents?
Hi everyone, I'm currently exploring the capabilities of Copilot Cowork that is available through the Microsoft Frontier Program, and I'm trying to understand whether a multi-agent orchestration pattern is officially supported. My Use Case I want users to interact with only a single, central Copilot Cowork agent. For example: User asks the Cowork agent to create or update a Jira ticket. Instead of Cowork handling the Jira operation directly, it delegates or hands off the task to a dedicated Jira Copilot Agent. The Jira agent performs the required actions and returns the result. The Cowork agent then presents the final response back to the user. Similarly, I would like to have specialized agents for: Jira ServiceNow Knowledge Management HR Operations Internal IT Support Other business systems The goal is to have Cowork act as an intelligent orchestrator/router while specialized agents handle domain-specific operations. Questions Is agent-to-agent delegation or handoff officially supported in Copilot Cowork (Frontier Program)? Can Cowork directly invoke another Copilot Studio agent? Is there any built-in multi-agent orchestration framework available today? If this is supported, what is the recommended architecture and implementation process? If it is not currently supported, what workarounds are people using? Power Automate? Agent as a tool/action? Custom APIs? Azure AI Foundry / Azure AI Agent Service? Other approaches? I'm specifically looking for guidance from anyone who has worked with Copilot Cowork in the Frontier Program, since the documentation and public examples seem to focus mostly on standalone agents. Any insights, architecture diagrams, documentation links, or real-world experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Microsoft Introduces Scout: The Always-On Personal AI Agent
Microsoft has officially unveiled Microsoft Scout, a new AI-powered personal agent designed to work continuously in the background and help users manage tasks, schedules, communications, and workflows across the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Announced on June 2, 2026, Scout represents Microsoft’s latest step toward autonomous AI agents that move beyond traditional chatbot interactions and actively help users get work done. https://dellenny.com/microsoft-introduces-scout-the-always-on-personal-ai-agent-that-could-redefine-workplace-productivity/Learning Agent by Microsoft: The Future of Personalized AI-Powered Employee Upskilling Has Arrived
In today’s rapidly evolving workplace, one challenge continues to stand out for organizations across industries: keeping employee skills aligned with changing business needs. Traditional training programs often struggle to deliver relevant learning experiences at the right time, leaving employees overwhelmed with generic courses that may not match their career goals or daily responsibilities. https://dellenny.com/learning-agent-by-microsoft-the-future-of-personalized-ai-powered-employee-upskilling-has-arrived/Designing Multi-Agent Systems in Copilot Studio
Modern organizations rarely solve complex business problems with a single AI assistant. Customer support, IT operations, sales, HR, and analytics teams all have different goals, data sources, and workflows. This is where multi-agent systems become valuable. Instead of relying on one large, general-purpose agent, a multi-agent architecture uses several specialized agents that collaborate to complete tasks efficiently. https://dellenny.com/designing-multi-agent-systems-in-copilot-studio/
