Using Copilot with Outlook (both the desktop and the web app), when I give it a prompt, it creates some good content, but when I click "Keep it" the content disappears. I have tried this several times. I closed the apps and restarted with the same results. I restarted the computer and still the same results; clicking "Keep it" does not. Any suggestions? Please!35Views0likes0CommentsGrounding Changes for Copilot in Outlook
Ever since I've had a cull Copilot licence I've used prompts to summarise emails in my outlook folders. It's always worked well until 1-2 weeks ago when it's returning content outside the selected folder and or only reviewing a few of the emails in the selected folder. I've revised and reverse engineered the prompt but it's still not working and more worryingly it gives a variation every time. Does anyone know why this is happening or the workaround? Ultimately all I want it to do is summarise each email and drop all the emails into a table.75Views0likes0CommentsCopilot Chat vsus. Microsoft 365 Copilot What's the difference?
While their names sound similar at first glance - Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat - they differ in several aspects. And more importantly, one can't be without another. What is Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat? First since first. Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is also called Copilot Chat. Copilot Chat generates answers based on web content, while Microsoft 365 Copilot is also grounded on users' data, like emails, meetings, files, and more. Since January 15, Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat is available for everyone. Everyone in organizations. Also customers with a Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscriptions can enjoy using Copilot Chat securily. The screenshot below shows how Copilot Chat looks like and highlights its main capabilities. Note that EDP - Enterprise Data Protection is available. What is Microsoft 365 Copilot?

Microsoft 365 Copilot Administrators will have to pin the chat in the admin center so it is easy for Copilot Chat users to access it. What's the difference? There are some aspects, such as licensing requirements, subscription fees, data sources, or access to organization content, that determine the differences between Copilot Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Hi all, I start interacting with M365 Copilot Chat and then I want to proceed editing in Outlook. When trying to edit I get the following message in outlook. (sorry in Spanish, but basically says i don't have Copilot). I checked admin configuration and not sure what´s wrong. I have the paid licence, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks340Views1like3CommentsChange Default for Copilot Automatic Room Rebooking Setting in Outlook?
My users with Microsoft 365 Copilot licenses have noticed a newer feature that automatically rebooks meetings with an alternate room if the selected room is unavailable. It appears that this setting is on by default and can be turned off on a per case basis when a new meeting event is being scheduled. Is there a way to turn it off by default and allow people to enable it when a new calendar item is being created instead? Here is what it looks like for me in Outlook. I can click on Edit from the new meeting window and turn it off for a single event. I haven't found a way to change that default behavior. Has anyone found a way to adjust this? Thank you!

Hi, My name is Sam. I have been using the free version of Copilot for almost a week now, but the system is too limited for the work I am doing. Using the Copilot though, I have created a formal comprehensive request for access to higher powered A.I. What I do not know is who to send it too. If anyone can provide relevant information, that would be greatly appreciated.154Views1like1CommentCopilot in MS365 not available with one account on one Mac
I am stumped as to why my wife cannot see Copilot in the menu bar of any MS 365 app on her laptop. She is part of the family plan, and I have confirmed that her subscription credentials allow her to use Copilot. The MS apps are at the latest version, along with macOS. Scenario 1: When my wife uses her MS credentials to log in to any MS 365 app on her laptop, Copilot does not appear in the menu bar. When I log her out of MS 365 and log in with my credentials on her laptop, the Copilot appears on the menu bar. She can run the standalone Copilot app on her laptop using her credentials. Scenario 2: When my wife uses her MS credentials to log in to any MS 365 app on my laptop, Copilot appears in the menu bar. I can't tell what is preventing Copilot from appearing in MS 365 on my wife's laptop when she is using her credentials.199Views0likes1Comment
