Change 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!

Can't Publish an Agent inside Copilot Studio for Teams
I’m refreshing some Dataverse for Teams demos for a session in about two weeks.

Here’s the screen I get on the Publish tab. Reloading doesn’t help. Is this currently a known issue? No notice of it in M365 admin center on Service status.

How to make the most of Copilot in Human Resources?
Here is a bit of a different question than I have seen in this forum. What are some best practices and interesting use cases you all have seen with Copilot in HR departments? I want to make sure our team is using it effectively. Any automation scenarios or hr tools that integrate with Copilot?So many different CoPilots - confusing, unproductive
I think we have all learned that CoPilot is a brand, a suite of tools. That probably makes sense from Microsoft perspective, but it is confusing as heck for end users or people trying to roll out CoPilot in a company. Products include: Sharepoint agents CoPilot desktop app Copilot in Office apps -- different copilots for PPT, Word, excel, Outlook CoPilot Studio - custom copilots (which by the way turn into "apps"???) Teams Copilot Researcher and Analyst Agents Prompting Coach Visual Creator What is even more frustrating is they don't all work together or in the same environments. I want to call my Sharepoint Agent from my Copilot, nope. I want my Custom Copilot to use Researcher (or vice versa even), not happening (despite Copilot giving me instructions on how it should). Meanwhile, in Anthropic-land, I setup an MCP service to integrate Claude and my to do app. Not without hiccups, but it works now. The whole Copilot ecosystem needs to get a lot more consistent and quickly or you are going to continue to loose users. PS - as i went to post this, I needed to select Tags -- there were 20 Copilot products to choose from!Use Copilot-generated notes in meetings!
Notetaking during meetings is an activity that works differently from team to team and from meeting to meeting. At least, this is my observation so far. In some teams, notetaking is seen as a collaboration task. A volunteer usually takes the meeting notes. In others, notetaking is seen as a personal task. Individuals are responsible for their notes, regardless of whether they understood the message or not. After experiencing both methods, I go for the first one. To me, taking notes is a collaboration task. Notes are the output of any meeting and a wonderful way to recap for those who could not attend. And people can still take their personal notes, if they want to. 🟣 Adoption Tips for AI-Generated Notes: Are there fears in your team about delegating meeting notes entirely to Copilot? That's ok. Make a gradual transition. Here's how: Start using both manual and automated notetaking systems. Keep on the notetaking tasks manually while turning on the Copilot-generated notes, too. Ensure your team can access both meeting notes versions, the manual and the Copilot generated. Over time and gradually, your team can control the accuracy of the notes. And hopefully, transition to fully Copilot-generated notes. 🟣 Current Challenges: This feature relies on the language setting of the meeting and works together with the transcription. The language setting must match the language spoken during the meeting. Currently, it is not possible to set up the language prior to a meeting. 🗝️ Microsoft, we have to talk: The meeting language setting is not saved per meeting - so far my understanding. The downside is that meeting organizers need to set it up - even for recurrence meetings - over and over again. It's frustrating. Here's my wish list: It would be so wonderful to configure the meeting language under meeting options. And even better, it would be awesome if AI would recognize the spoken language and set it automatically. 🟣 How to Turn on Copilot-Generated Notes in Meetings? You can turn on the notetaking feature before or during the meeting. ⬅️ Before: Go to Schedule a meeting in your calendar to add a private meeting. Notetaking with Copilot is not available either for channel or instant meetings. Turn on the toggle which is next to AI-generated notes in the meeting invite. The transcription will turn on automatically. ⬇️ During: In case you forgot to turn on the notetaking before the meeting. You can still turn it on during the meeting. Join your private meeting. Click on notes. Click on the stars and turn on the toggle. Does your team already use notetaking with Copilot? Drop your experiences in the comments below 👇.
