Is/will Copilot in Teams able to follow/process shared content in Teams Meetings?

Copper Contributor

My team frequently uses Teams meetings for code reviews and discussions to share screen and view each other's work. Is Copilot in Teams able to see/process shared content along with spoken audio to provide a wholistic summary of meeting content? This may also be useful in the case of shared files or live collaboration on M365 files like Word documents or PowerPoint presentations.

No, Copilot in Teams currently cannot directly see or process shared content within meetings, including screen shares or live collaboration on M365 files, to provide a holistic summary with spoken audio. There are two main reasons for this:

Privacy and Security: Granting Copilot access to the visual content of screen shares within Teams meetings raises privacy and security concerns. Microsoft prioritizes user privacy, and current APIs might not allow access to such visual data.

Focus on Text Data: Copilot is primarily designed to work with text-based information like emails, chats, and documents. Processing visual information like screen content is likely beyond its current capabilities.
