Help Needed: Sharing Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat AI Agent with Colleagues
Hello everyone, I have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license and have created my own Chat AI Agent using Copilot Chat. This agent is designed primarily for chat responses, with knowledge sourced from a specific website and an internal SharePoint site. I shared the agent with my colleagues, and they are able to install it. However, when they ask questions, they always receive the response: "Sorry, I’m unable to respond to that. Is there anything else I can assist you with?" All these colleagues have access to the SharePoint site, and regardless of whether they have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license or not, they get the same unhelpful answer. Could someone please advise how I can enable everyone to use this agent properly? Thank you in advance for your help!
CoPilot agents - end user license
Hi ! I have a question regarding CoPilot licensing requirements. I have a premium CoPilot license and have created a CoPilot agent. I’d like to know: Do end users interacting with my CoPilot agent also need to have a premium CoPilot license? Does it make a difference if the agent uses premium connectors (e.g., ServiceNow) versus standard connectors? Does the publishing location of the agent (e.g., in Teams, SharePoint site, website embed, etc.) affect licensing requirements for end users? I want to ensure that the right licenses are in place for all users. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Repeated Connection Prompts and "Send Failed. Retry" Errors When Using SharePoint Lists in Copilot
Hi everyone, I'm working on integrating SharePoint lists as a knowledge source in a Copilot agent. The setup works initially, but I'm encountering persistent issues when testing the agent or accessing it via Microsoft Teams/SharePoint site after publishing. Issue Details: Initial Connection Prompt: When I first test the agent or access it from Teams/Site, it prompts me to connect to the SharePoint data source. This is expected and works fine. Repeated Prompts: After the initial connection, the agent repeatedly asks me to reconnect to the SharePoint list, even within the same session. This happens multiple times during a single conversation. Error Message: Frequently, I receive the error message: "Send failed. Retry" This disrupts the conversation and makes the agent unreliable for end users. After 2-3 retry it worked Expected Behavior: I expect the connection to persist once authenticated, and for the agent to access the SharePoint list seamlessly throughout the session. What I’ve Tried: Verified that the SharePoint list is correctly configured and accessible. Ensured that the data source connection is added and published in the Copilot Studio. Tested in both the Copilot Studio test environment and Microsoft Teams and its working fine on Copilot Studio test environment. Questions: Is this a known issue with SharePoint list integration in Copilot agents? Are there any best practices to ensure persistent authentication or session handling? Could this be related to Teams-specific permissions or token expiration? Any workarounds or configuration changes that could help resolve this? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.Rewrite it with Copilot!
Writing is not an easy task, at least not for me. It simply demands time to challenge the complexity of our thought process. Whether you’re drafting a client proposal, refining a team announcement post, or just trying to get rid of the daily pile of emails, the words just don't always come out right the first time. That's where Rewrite with Copilot steps in. This feature, integrated across Microsoft 365 apps, acts like your personal editor — helping you sharpen your message, adjust tone, and even tailor your writing to your audience. It’s not just about fixing grammar. It’s about making your words work. There's a prompt for the most common challenges: Do your colleagues have no time to read a long message? Then select the option "Make it shorter". Or you tried hard, but your message still sounds complicated. Then go for "Simplify". Maybe you need to add more details, then use "Add more detail". Rewrite with Copilot is almost everywhere 🪄 You’ll find “Rewrite with Copilot” in: Outlook: Auto-rewrites, make it shorter or longer, change the tone, and more. Teams: Rewrite or adjust the tone of the message. SharePoint: Edit your text web-part and select "Auto rewrite". Loop: Prompt to Copilot to change the tone, simplify, and make whatever text improvements needed to communicate purposefully in your Loop pages. Edge: Rewrite with Copilot either using the shortcut Alt. + I or selecting your text and clicking on the "Rewrite with Copilot" option of the context menu. Here note that Rewrite with Copilot in Edge is currently not available with your work account, only with personal accounts. That's not all, you can use the feature in MS Forms, Word, PowerPoint, Notepad for Windows, and more! Adoption Tips 1️⃣ AI-generated content may be incorrect. Always verify what Copilot rewrites. 2️⃣ Copilot evolves quickly. If your favorite Microsoft 365 app does not offer the feature yet, it may be different next month. So check regularly for feature updates. 3️⃣ Asking Copilot to rewrite in a language that is not your mother tongue? Try to write sentences that are simple and clear, using straightforward vocabulary, so that the original text does not lead to confusion. Verify the given text with another source. Copy the text and prompt to Copilot: "Help me understand the meaning this text: <Copy your text>" Limitations Copilot might misinterpret your text if the content is ambiguous, grammatically flawed or lacks of context. There could be misunderstandings or inaccuracies for individuals working with "Rewrite" feature if one is working in a language that is not their first language. Rewrite with Copilot is easy to use, be aware that there are small differences from app to app. For example, in MS Teams you access the feature by click on a magic pen icon and not on a Copilot icon. Communication can be challenging. Words don't always align perfectly with our intentions, especially when time is limited. But the good news is, "Rewrite with Copilot" is a great way to support everyday writing processes. Stay curious and give it a try! ***** I write this post in collaboration with sohnash .The Case of the Mysterious SharePoint Embedded Containers
A set of 80 mysterious SharePoint Embedded containers turned up because Microsoft pre-provisioned storage for files used as knowledge sources by Copilot agents. Details of the pre-provisioning are in message center notification MC1058260, but who has the time to read and analyze everything posted to the message center? And anyway, the mysterious containers have now disappeared… https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/28/sharepoint-embedded-containers-km/Copilot agent unable to view meeting recordings in folder?
I want to have an agent that can query the recording from recurring meetings. When I point the agent to a single recording (.mp4), I can ask the agent questions about it. However, when I point the agent to a folder with recordings, it's like the agent doesn't even know that there's files there. Is this a limitation or a bug?Excel Connector Issue in Copilot Studio for Agent using SharePoint as Knowledge Source

An article by a company specializing in penetration tests raised some questions about how attackers might use Copilot for Microsoft 365 to retrieve data. The article is an interesting read and reveals how Copilot can reveal data in password protected Excel worksheets. However, many of the issues raised can be controlled by applying available controls, and the biggest worry is lhow the account being used to run Copilot came to be compromised! https://office365itpros.com/2025/05/12/copilot-for-microsoft-365-pentest/
Microsoft Copilot Embedded in the SharePoint
Hi experts, I have developed a Copilot Agent to assist to search the documents in the SharePoint document libraries. In that case I have registered the App in Azure and set the API Permission as follows. Microsoft Graph -> Application Permission 1.1. Sites.FullControl.All 1.2. Files.Read.All 1.3. Sites.Read.All 1.4. User.Read.All 2. SharePoint -> Application Permission 2.1. Sites.FullControl.All 2.2. Sites.Read.All 2.3. User.Read.All 3. Created Client Secret 4. I did the following settings in Copilot Studio under Authentication. 4.1. I have selected "Authenticate manually" and turn "Require users to sign in" off. 4.2. Then, gave the Client ID and Client secret. 4.3. Set the "profile openid Sites.Read.All Files.Read.All" under Scopes and Save. 4.4. After all the configurations are done, I get the embed code and insert it into SharePoint page. My objective is to give the better user experience to the internal users, and I do not need to use this "Sign in" option. Even I set all above settings, it is asking me to "Sign in". How can I avoid this matter? I really appreciate it if someone can help me out on this regard. Thanks in advance, Wiki.
