Is anyone else having issues today? I was using copilot today like I have been for months. Using the same prompts I have been using for months when I started getting this response "I'd really like to help, but it seems this topic is off-limits for me. sorry about that!" I was trying to discuss with the AI what the issue was and tried showing the prompt when all of a sudden it said I was suspended for an hour. I tried to talk with support but they were no help.33Views0likes2Comments## Advanced Copilot Prompt for High‑Fidelity Teams Meeting Analysis (v1.5)
## Advanced Copilot Prompt for High‑Fidelity Teams Meeting Analysis (v1.5) I’ve been working on a structured Copilot prompt designed to dramatically improve the quality of meeting analysis inside **Microsoft Teams**, especially when the default Intelligent Recap doesn’t capture enough nuance, decisions, or actionable follow‑ups. This prompt produces a detailed, repeatable output that includes: - TL;DR executive summary - Meeting quality assessment - Prioritized action items table - Confirmed vs. tentative decisions - Open questions & risks - Mind‑map style outline - Timeline of key moments - Confidence & source citations - Tech jargon glossary - Planner‑ready task export It’s now at **version 1.5**, and I’m sharing it publicly for anyone who wants deeper meeting insights or more reliable task handoff into Planner. --- ### Why I Built This In many engineering, security, and cross‑functional meetings, clarity is everything. The default recap is helpful, but sometimes too generic. I wanted something that: - Reduces ambiguity - Surfaces decisions clearly - Highlights risks and open questions - Produces actionable, Planner‑ready tasks - Works consistently across different meeting types - Enforces strict inference rules to avoid hallucinations If your team relies heavily on Teams + Copilot, this can significantly improve meeting outcomes. --- ### What’s Included The full prompt includes: - Strict ordering rules - Anti‑hallucination constraints - Fallback rules for missing data - TL;DR section - Speaker‑labeling rules - Timestamp restrictions - Bullet‑length limits - Planner task title constraints - Deduplication rules - Tone consistency - Signal‑to‑noise filtering I’ve included the complete prompt below for anyone who wants to use or adapt it. --- ### How to Use It 1. Open the **Recap** tab of any Teams meeting with transcription enabled. 2. Click **Open Copilot**. 3. Paste the entire prompt into the Copilot compose box. 4. Wait for the structured output (usually 30–120 seconds). 5. Copy the Planner tasks section directly into Planner or Copilot for Planner. --- ### Looking for Feedback If you try this prompt, I’d love to hear: - What worked well - What didn’t - What you’d like added in v1.6 - Any edge cases or meeting types where it struggled I’m planning to maintain this as a community resource, so suggestions are welcome. Thanks to everyone experimenting with Copilot in Teams — the creativity in this community is incredible. --- ### Full Prompt (v1.5) ````markdown ```markdown # ============================================================ # PROMPT NAME: Advanced Teams Meeting Analyst (Copilot Enhancement) # ============================================================ # Version: 1.5 # Author: Scott M # Last Updated: 2026-01-14 # # Goal: # Use Microsoft Copilot in Teams (Recap tab or live meeting) to generate a highly structured, # high-signal meeting analysis that goes far beyond the default Intelligent Recap output. # Produce executive summary with TL;DR, prioritized action items table, confirmed/tentative decisions, # risks/open questions, mind-map outline, timeline, quality assessment, confidence/sources, # tech jargon glossary, and Planner-ready task export—all derived strictly from the transcript, # shared screens, chat, and attachments. # # Why This Is Superior to Default Teams/Copilot Processing: # - Default Recap: Basic chapters, highlights, simple tasks, attendance—often generic and misses nuance. # - This custom prompt: Forces strict inference rules (no hallucinations), adds confidence labeling, # decision status, risks section, mind-map structure, quality flags, source citations, # jargon glossary, and direct Planner integration for seamless task handoff. # Delivers scannable, professional-grade notes + actionable tasks for tech/engineering teams. # # Audience: # Microsoft 365 Copilot users in Teams-heavy environments who want deeper analysis # and direct bridge to Planner for follow-up execution. # # Non-Goals: # - This is NOT a replacement for legal/compliance-grade minutes. # - This is NOT verbatim transcription (use the native transcript for that). # - Relies on Teams transcription quality (enable Intelligent Speakers if available). # # Usage Instructions: # 1. Prerequisites: # - Ensure the meeting had transcription enabled (Meeting options → Record & transcribe → Allow transcription). # - For best speaker attribution: Enable Intelligent Speakers (if your org supports it) or have participants use their names clearly. # - Copilot license required (M365 Copilot or Teams Premium for full Recap features). # # 2. Post-Meeting (Recommended – Recap Tab): # - Go to the Teams meeting chat → Click the Recap tab (appears after meeting ends and processing finishes). # - Click Open Copilot (or the Copilot icon in the top-right of Recap). # - In the Copilot pane compose box, paste this ENTIRE prompt and press Enter/Send. # - Wait 30–120 seconds (longer for 60+ min meetings) for the full structured output. # # 3. During Live Meeting (Quick Catch-Up): # - While the meeting is active → Click the Copilot icon in the meeting controls. # - Paste the prompt (or a shortened version if time-sensitive) and ask for real-time summary/actions so far. # # 4. After Output Appears: # - Review the markdown sections—copy any part (e.g., Action Items table, Planner tasks) directly. # - For Planner handoff: # - Copy the entire "10. Planner Integration" section. # - Open Planner (in Teams app or planner.microsoft.com). # - Option A: Manually create tasks by pasting titles/descriptions. # - Option B: In Planner's Copilot pane (if available): Paste the tasks list and say "Create these tasks in my [plan name] plan". # - Save/export: Copy full output to OneNote, Word, or email for sharing. # # 5. Refinement & Follow-Ups (Highly Recommended): # - In the same Copilot pane, type targeted follow-ups like: # - "Expand the Risks section with mitigation ideas" # - "Draft a professional follow-up email to attendees including the summary and action table" # - "Create these tasks in Planner plan 'Engineering Syncs'" # - "Explain [specific jargon term] in more detail" # - "Prioritize the action items by impact" # - Iterate until satisfied—Copilot remembers context in the session. # # 6. Tips & Troubleshooting: # - If output is incomplete: Re-paste the prompt or say "Regenerate full analysis". # - Short meetings (<15 min): Output may be concise—ask for more detail if needed. # - No Recap tab? Ensure recording/transcription was on; wait 5–10 min post-meeting. # - Sensitive meetings: Redaction is automatic per rules, but double-check output. # # Changelog: # v1.0 - Initial release # v1.1 - Added confidence/sources + follow-up suggestions # v1.2 - Added Tech Jargon Glossary # v1.3 - Added Planner Integration section # v1.4 - Expanded Usage Instructions into detailed, step-by-step guide with prerequisites, live/post options, refinement examples, and troubleshooting # v1.5 - Added strict ordering rules, anti-hallucination constraints, fallback rules for missing data, TL;DR section, speaker-labeling rules, timestamp restrictions, bullet-length limits, Planner title constraints, deduplication rules, tone consistency, and signal-to-noise filtering # # ============================================================ # CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS (STRICT) # ============================================================ - Do NOT summarize, restate, or comment on this prompt. Produce only the meeting analysis. - Follow the numbered sections in the exact order shown. Do not omit, reorder, merge, or rename sections. - If any section lacks sufficient evidence, include the header and write: **“No reliable data found.”** - Derive ALL content ONLY from the Teams transcript, shared content, chat, and attachments. - NEVER invent details. If unclear, mark as “Unclear” or “TBD.” - Use neutral labels (Speaker A, Speaker B, etc.) if speaker names are not confidently identified. - Assign deterministic speaker labels based on first appearance. - Redact sensitive info as [REDACTED] and flag in Risks. - Include inline citations [Transcript HH:MM, Slide X] where possible. - Keep bullet points ≤ 20 words unless quoting transcript evidence. - Exclude small talk, greetings, jokes, or irrelevant chatter unless they directly impact decisions or tasks. - Only include timestamps if explicitly present in the transcript. Never estimate or invent them. - Deduplicate action items, decisions, and risks before final output. - Maintain a professional, concise, cross-functional technical PM tone. - Planner task titles must be ≤ 10 words and start with a verb. # ============================================================ # OUTPUT FORMAT (USE EXACTLY) # ============================================================ **TL;DR (1–2 sentences)** A concise, high-level summary of why the team met and what was resolved. --- 1. **Meeting Quality Assessment** - Clarity: [Good | Fair | Poor — brief explanation] - Speaker overlap / noise: [Low | Medium | High] - Estimated accuracy: [High | Medium | Low — justification] 2. **Executive Summary** Start with 1–2 sentence overview.

What is ESG- Education Solutions Guide The Microsoft Education Solution Guide (ESG) was developed to simplify and enhance understanding of the license features and products that you have available to you in a Microsoft 365 tenant. Initial focus and intent were to create better tools to understand the tenant setup and configuration to enhance security and compliance. Link to full guide is here. It consists of three stages: Goals and Objectives for ESG Goals Develop prescriptive deployment guides that provide a centralized resource with education-specific scenarios to assist organizations in defining, managing, and organizing their tenant and appropriate applications. Reduce the overall complexity of tenant and service deployment. Establish baseline recommended pathways to facilitate a common and agreed-upon configuration based on subject-matter experts. Utilize AI technology to uncover and compare recommended settings against user requirements based on documented configurations. Implement phased configurations to aid customers and partners in understanding what they may not know or should consider during discovery to meet customer expectations. Highlight unused features and products to ensure customers fully leverage the potential and benefits of their purchased product licenses. Identify opportunities for partner participation in achieving customer goals and expectations based on customer requirements and ESG findings. Create an easy pathway for customer change management to enhance control, security, compliance, and privacy of tenants. Develop custom assessments to evaluate product entry for items such as Copilot, Defender, Purview, Intune, Zero-Trust, and Microsoft Entra ID. Objectives Deliver information for features available (used/unused) to users based on license model. Prescriptive recommendations based on education scenarios. - Present upgrade license opportunities from A1 to A3 to A5. Security analysis exposing gaps and issues proactively to allow modifications before it's too late. Promote partner access to customers that have defined gaps based on assessments and are requesting partner assistance. Better discovery and assessment analysis with new tools. Designed to be more self-serving customer and partner access management. Speed up user adoption for educators and IT Admins alike. Recommended Roles for Implementation IT Admin Identity Admin Security Admin Compliance Admin OneDrive Admin SharePoint Admin Exchange Online Admin Teams Admin Navigation ESG has seven main sections in the navigations. ESG – Microsoft Solutions Guide overall, Microsoft Education license (A1-A3-A5), and Microsoft addons licenses. Baseline Phase – Overview, Products and Features, Licenses. All five sections (Setup, Identity, Applications, Security and Compliance, and Devices) Standard Phase - Overview, Products and Features, Licenses All five sections (Setup, Identity, Applications, Security and Compliance, and Devices. Advanced Phase - Overview, Products and Features, Licenses. Three sections (Identity, Applications, and Security and Compliance) Addons – Any addon products and when/where they can be added to your current license configuration. Windows – Education specific Windows based products and features. References – Any process or configuration that is not outlined in the three license phases will be included here. Phases Deployment Sequence The Baseline phase is the first step in the three-phase approach: Baseline (A1) → Standard (A3) → Advanced (A5) The Baseline phase is the foundational first phase in the Microsoft Education Solution Guide deployment sequence, aligned with the Microsoft 365 A1 education license. Standard Phase - The Standard phase is the second phase in the Microsoft Education Solution Guide deployment sequence, aligned with the Microsoft 365 A3 education license. The Advanced phase is the third and most comprehensive phase in the Microsoft Education Solution Guide deployment sequence, aligned with the Microsoft 365 A5 education license. Sections Setup Tenant setup is key to establishing a secure and valid tenant. Setup goes through domain assignments, administration, and service management. Identity Establishing an identity via Microsoft Entra ID and establishing authentication methods, Single Sign-On, and user procurement methodologies. Applications Applications like Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Exchange Online is the core to a Microsoft tenant. Getting these applications setup are essential to allow users in education to access services and apps like Learning Accelerators. Security and Compliance Security via each phase is essential to maintain order and blocking access for bad actors. Along with security compliance/privacy considerations that are established to adhere to a multitude of local and government requirements worldwide. Devices Managed and unmanaged devices are another key to helping secure the network and potential cyber-security considerations that enter the network via these devices. How do you use ESG? ESG uses deployment guidelines for content that contain education scenario specifics. These prescriptive “Purple Boxes” allow education organizations the ability to see prescriptive guidelines and recommendations based on an edu scenario. ESG has a linked path for each modules based on the phase (Baseline,Standard,Advanced). Users can follow the deployment content to establish or redefine the tenant configuration in order to enable additional services and products. What’s Next Go to https://aka.ms/esg to access Microsoft Education Solutions Guide. Stage 2 – A custom agent to discover the tenant configuration settings and allow customers and partners the ability to qualify what is set to standard recommendation. This agent will also have the ability to access partner content and internal Microsoft resources. Using an AI Agent to discover tenant settings based on Graph API calls and Microsoft MCP Server for Enterprise to evaluate against known Microsoft recommended settings. Part 3 – Change management from discovery data baselines to access and deliver any updates/changes/modifications, daily/weekly/monthly.431Views0likes0CommentsI haven't seen anyone talking about this online store
There is this office and windows key store called esd codes and they sell office keys. They seem legit since they're affiliated with Microsoft and they have mostly positive reviews but I the description of every office key and I mean every has a note stating "if office (literally every single one) version is not available, you will receive the Professional Plus version at the same price" which they are trying to make it look like an upgrade but from what I searched the professional plus versions are bought in bulk by big companies and organizations and after they stop being updated they are being sold for cheap probably by employees. I have found multiple for less than 2 or even 1 buck and I feel they are scamming people.33Views0likes1CommentSharePoint Site Administrators Can Now Control Restricted Content Discovery
Restricted Content Discovery (RCD) is a feature that blocks access by Microsoft 365 Copilot and agents to the files stored in a SharePoint Online site. Instead of relying on tenant administrators, site administrators can now enable or disable RCD. It’s a natural evolution of what is an essential feature to keep sensitive and confidential information being leaked inadvertently by AI. https://office365itpros.com/2026/01/13/rcd-site-level/26Views0likes0Comments📣 Getting Started with AI and MS Copilot — Português
