Hey Copilot Voice Function is not working
I am trying to use the "Hey, Copilot" feature in the Copilot app on my PC. It is not working because the voice assistant does not open when I say the wake phrase. I have already contacted technical support, and after going through all the troubleshooting steps, we were unable to find a solution. My microphone is working perfectly because if I launch the voice assistant manually, I can have a voice conversation without any issues. Microsoft Copilot version: 150.0.4078.96 (64-bit) Windows 11 installed "Hey, Copilot" is enabled Mic permissions are enabled Manual voice conversations work correctly Reinstalled Copilot and restarted the PC Issue: Saying "Hey, Copilot" does not activate voice mode.
Copilot pain points....
Guys… seriously… we need some improvements here. I’m not asking Copilot to solve quantum physics or decode alien transmissions. I’m asking a Microsoft program for help with a Microsoft program. You’d think that would be the one scenario where Copilot would shine, right? Like, “Ah yes, my home turf, allow me to demonstrate competence.” But no. I can’t even get Copilot to correctly explain how to do basic SharePoint tasks. BASIC. As in, “click the thing, then click the other thing.” Instead I get a TED Talk about SharePoint philosophy and a guided meditation on patience. And then there’s the folder comparison fiasco. I want Copilot to do something so simple it should practically be a reflex: Compare two folders on my hard drive and tell me if they’re identical. Copilot’s response? “Absolutely, I can do that!” Followed immediately by an ever‑expanding scavenger hunt of things I apparently need to do first. It’s like asking someone to hand you a screwdriver and they say, “Sure, but first you’ll need to assemble this IKEA shelving unit, install three dependencies, sacrifice a goat, and agree to a quest.” I’m glad to hear you’re merging all the copilots into one “super Copilot.” Great idea. Fantastic. But let’s be honest — I’m praying the one that survives is the personal Copilot, because Copilot 365… whew. That thing feels like it was built by a committee that communicates exclusively through interpretive dance. And don’t even get me started on the wrapper versions. Those are like Copilot wearing a Halloween costume of itself, but the costume is made of cardboard and disappointment. And by the way — I’m STILL waiting for Copilot to create an app or program that automatically files my Outlook emails into folders. This is not a moon landing. This is not a Mars rover. This is not a Nobel Prize category. This is a simple, everyday, normal-person task. Yet somehow Copilot treats it like I’ve asked it to build the next Windows release from scratch using only a spoon and positive thinking. Come on, guys. We love the vision. We love the potential. But the basics need to work before the magic tricks do.I want to turn off or hide the draft with copilot dingbat that follows my cursor around in MS Word.
I have seen a few articles on this website, and I know it's not possible but I'm going to ask anyway. For reference this is what I'm referring to: It's more I find the little thing following me around on my screen to be annoying and distracting, I've managed to hide or disable anything related to copilot on my system except this little dingbat. When a new document is open you get a little message that says "Select the icon or press Alt + i to draft with copilot" It would be nice if I could hide that as well, yes copilot is a *feature*, and I don't care about it. I also want to hide the paste with copilot and just used the local paste options that were built into previous versions of word. I suspect that there is a copilot dingbat that is stored somewhere on my system, possibly in a font, and as I have already made a few detrimental modifications to my operating system registry, I'm not wary of messing up my computer any more than it could be. The only saving grace I have at the moment is there is an issue with my account, so any accidental triggering of the feature causes it to crap out. (So long as I don't accidentally press the 'fix account" button) I know that if it was easy to turn off there would be a button for it, I know Microsoft probably wants us to use this feature because it means more data for them to collect, an I'm disappointed in the loss of user agency that's resulted from this rollout, and there's a spike in animosity towards AI in general.
URGENT!!!! I NEED HELP WITH COPILOT ATT DESIGN TEAM!!!!!!!
I am reporting a serious and urgent issue with Microsoft Copilot. Over the past two weeks, I uploaded more than one thousand documents into a single Copilot conversation. These files were used for an ongoing, multi‑chapter historical and genealogical project. Without warning, the entire conversation disappeared from my chat history. Because Copilot ties uploaded files to the specific conversation thread where they were added, the disappearance of the thread has made every one of those files inaccessible. Nothing in the interface warned me that: conversations can be wiped or hidden without user action uploaded files do not persist outside the original thread losing a thread means losing access to all associated documents there is no recovery mechanism for deleted or missing conversations This resulted in the effective loss of two weeks of work and over a thousand uploaded documents. I need the design team to understand the severity of this issue. Users must have: A guaranteed way to preserve conversations that contain uploaded files A way to recover or restore deleted or missing threads A central location where all uploaded files can be accessed, regardless of thread Clear warnings that files are tied to a single conversation and will be lost if that thread disappears This is not a minor inconvenience — it is a critical data‑loss problem that affects trust, usability, and the viability of Copilot for long‑form or research‑heavy work. Please escalate this issue to the engineering and product teams. I need a way to recover my missing conversation or at least regain access to the files I uploaded. Thank you.
Has Anyone Successfully Used the Fabric Data Agent Connector with Copilot Agent?
Hi everyone, I'm facing an issue with a published Copilot agent in the Microsoft 365 app channel. The agent is configured with the Fabric Data Agent connector along with documentation as knowledge sources. However, while the agent works as expected with the Power BI connector, it fails to return responses when using the Fabric Data Agent connector in the Microsoft 365 app I understand the Fabric Data Agent connector is still in preview, but I wanted to check: Has anyone successfully used the Fabric Data Agent connector with a Copilot agent in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app? Is this a current limitation of the Microsoft 365 app channel or the preview connector? Are there any known workarounds? Is there any estimated timeline for the Fabric Data Agent connector to reach General Availability (GA) and support the Microsoft 365 app channel I'd appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have tested this scenerio Thanks!
Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder support OCR and image analysis for SharePoint?
Hello everyone, I am currently testing a Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder agent that is grounded on SharePoint document libraries. During testing, I observed that the agent can successfully analyze and generate responses from text-based documents such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, CSV, and TXT files. However, when folders contain image-based files (JPG/PNG), the agent sometimes reports incomplete analysis or is unable to extract information from those files. I would appreciate clarification on the following: Does Microsoft 365 Copilot Agent Builder officially support OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for JPG and PNG files stored in SharePoint? Can Agent Builder natively analyze image-based content, or is this capability only available through Copilot Studio with additional AI services? Are there any documented limitations regarding image processing compared to text-based document processing? Has anyone successfully implemented a SharePoint-grounded Agent Builder solution that can reliably analyze scanned images, photographs, or image-based documents? If OCR/image analysis is not currently supported, is there a recommended Microsoft solution or architecture for achieving this requirement?The Windows App isn't viable at present
The Windows Copilot app is not viable for real work because it only stores three conversations. Edge Copilot and the mobile app preserve full history and sync across devices, which makes them usable for long‑term projects. The Windows app should match that behavior or be retired. The inconsistency breaks workflows for users doing multi‑month creative and strategic work.
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.
