Copilot in PowerPoint: Status of Word-from-OneDrive Feature for Personal Accounts
I’m trying to get clarity on the availability of a particular Copilot capability in PowerPoint for personal Microsoft accounts. From Microsoft’s guidance, Copilot Pro users with personal (non-work) accounts should have the option to build a presentation directly from a Word file stored in OneDrive. This is reportedly done by selecting a paperclip icon or entering “/” in the Create a presentation command to choose the Word document. Here’s what I’m experiencing: - In both PowerPoint desktop and web, there’s no paperclip icon, and typing “/” doesn’t surface any OneDrive files. - In Word for the web, I can connect to a document, but the desktop version doesn’t provide this option. - I’ve seen mixed reports online—some say it’s working, others suggest it’s only live for Microsoft 365 Insider builds or specific regions. I’d like to know: 1. Is this feature currently active for all personal accounts with Copilot Pro? 2. Could it be restricted to certain build versions, Insider channels, or geographic areas? 3. Are there prerequisites (AutoSave, file location in OneDrive, privacy settings, etc.) needed to make the option appear? Any official confirmation on whether this is rolled out globally and the exact requirements would be very helpful.
How to remove Copilot from showing up on web-based apps?
Hello, I predominantly use Outlook through the website via Chrome. I also use OneDrive, Excel, and Word through Chrome quite often. I had a tech person walk me through removing Copilot from my computer's apps - the actual programs - but it's still showing up on my website uses. I do not support AI, AI is absolute trash, and I want Copilot completely eliminated from everything I use. I am tired of having to close the Copilot 'summary' that automatically pops up at the top of all my emails. Is there an easy way to completely eliminate this, or am I doomed? Thank you!
Capabilities of Copilot in Web Browser vs. in Excel
Hello, I have noticed differences of Copilot capabilities of M365 Copilot in web browser vs. in Excel itself. For example, I want to count the number of lines in Excel file based on some parameters. When I put the prompt "Count the number of rows that have 'VTT' in column 'Product'." into Excel Copilot, it counts the correct number of rows. When I put the same prompt, just starting with "In file /Sample_data.xlsx" into M365 Copilot in Teams or in the web browser, it returns incorrect count every time. The same happens when I upload the file directly to the Copilot window and not link it to Onedrive. Mostly less (correct is 202 and Copilot returns 64 or so). I suspect it cannot access the entire document. I have tried many similar simple tests with other prompts and it is often the same result - in Excel good, elsewhere bad. Why does this happen? Is it because the file is indexed only partially in some sort of index and web Copilot draws from that and cannot see the data itself? How can I allow the Teams/web Copilot to access the data so the results are correct? I don't want to open Excel everytime to use the data inside. Thank you very much!! PS: When I test the same prompts with ChatGPT 4o mini, it responds correctly every time, so the data is AI-readable.

Hi, my name is Mark Salden, and I am a freelance graphic designer, social media marketer, and web designer from Belgium. I currently have an Office 365 Business Standard subscription and would like to purchase Microsoft 365 Copilot. Just to be clear: the regular Copilot Pro is only for individuals and not for businesses, correct? It’s a bit confusing, and I want to be 100% sure. I want to integrate Microsoft 365 Copilot into Word, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, etc. With Copilot, can I automatically create notes and summaries during online meetings in Teams? Also, can I use Copilot in Microsoft Loop? That part is not clear to me. I am also very interested in Copilot Studio because I want to create AI agents that help me with SEO, content creation, image generation, and more. Are there any limits on building AI agents, and can I create workflows and automate processes there as well? I hope someone can assist me.
