Cost for family on copilot
Feedback on Microsoft Copilot Pricing Dear Microsoft Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share feedback regarding the pricing of Microsoft Copilot. As a Microsoft 365 Family subscriber (99€/year), I find the additional cost of Copilot—ranging from 22€ to 30€ per user per month—challenging to justify. For a family of four, this adds up to a substantial annual cost of 1,056€, which feels disproportionate compared to the base subscription price. I appreciate the value that Copilot brings, but I believe a more accessible pricing model, especially for families or multiple users, would make the service much more appealing. A bundled or tiered pricing approach could encourage broader adoption and enhance the overall value perception of Microsoft 365. Thank you for considering my feedback. I look forward to seeing how Microsoft evolves its offerings to meet the needs of its loyal customers. Best regards, Maikel
Such a disappointment
One of my team members recently left, and with a critical meeting coming up next week, I had to step into the role quickly. I thought MS Copilot could assist with updating Excel and PowerPoint, but it turned out to be a mistake. I asked Copilot to replace all instances of "2024" with "2025," but it replied that it couldn’t perform the task. Next, I requested it to analyze a pivot table to identify which rows were subtotals and apply the same formula to other columns in the sheet. Instead, it suggested irrelevant adjustments to unrelated columns. I expected these tasks to be straightforward for MS software, but Copilot struggled with them. Honestly, it feels less efficient than a simple "Ctrl+F" and "Replace All."
Error while trying to use Copilot in Excel
I get the following error constantly: "As a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscriber, you'll be able to use Copilot when you're signed with your Microsoft work or school account (Entra ID) and Microsoft personal account. However, that ability is not yet available." What to do?
New copilot error preventing use
I have a paid subsciption (personal as it is simply me). i have been using copilot in all the apps appart from Outlook which i just cannot find. Howver the past week Powerpoint consistantly only provides the following error: As a Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscriber, you'll be able to use Copilot when you're signed with your Microsoft work or school account (Entra ID) and Microsoft personal account. However, that ability is not yet available. i have checked my subscription, my login, tried personal / work or school etc. word seems just to now hang preparing the side bar. again, i have been using this for months. this is just now. thank you.... i see google full of this error, so i presume it is know, but i cannot find any solution mentioned
CoPilot for M365 only available as a yearly?
How does a company as successful and forward thinking as Microsoft consistently get it wrong. The uptake of CoPilot among our customer base of 100 clients can be counted on half a hand. We have a customer that would like to trial 5 x users but there is no trial available and the only option is to subscribe to a twelve month commitment for each user. Every other M365 product we use has a monthly option. Why would you do that?
Copilot Does Not Summarise Slides in Powerpoint
I have a 40 slide presentation. Some of the slides are particularly wordy, so what I was planning to do was to ask Copilot to summarise a series of slides and add that as a companion document to the presentation. When I ask it to summarise a single slide by asking it to "Summarise slide 5" it grabs a title from a previous headline slide and creates a summary based seemingly on the whole presentation. If I ask it to summarise multiple slides with "Please summarise slides 5, 7, 10...." It creates a headline for each slide but summarises the wrong slides throughout and places the wrong titles on each slide in the response. Anyone else tried summarising specific slides in a presentation?
