M365 Copilot Android Application Not Working
I am using a Samsung S24 FE phone, and the Microsoft Copilot app is not working. When I open the app, I only see a black screen. I cannot open any menus. I cannot create or search for anything. There is only an empty home screen with dead buttons. I cannot sign out of my current account, nor can I figure out which account I am signed into (it logs in automatically). Here’s what I have already tried, but the issue persists: Enabled all permissions in the app settings. Deleted and reinstalled the app. Cleared the app cache and reopened it. Cleared the app data and reopened it.Purview Launches New DLP Policy to Control Copilot Prompts
A new DLP policy for Copilot prompts monitors blocked sensitive information types like credit card numbers to stop their use in Copilot prompts. The new policy can’t be combined with the existing DLP policy for Copilot, which checks for files with specific sensitivity labels to prevent Copilot using their content in its responses. But that’s OK because the two policies do very different work. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/20/dlp-policy-for-copilot-prompts/Microsoft 365 Announcements at Ignite 2025
The Ignite 2025 keynote was a marathon 150-minute event, but some interesting Microsoft 365 announcements emerged, mostly centered on AI. Microsoft is obviously focused on making AI and agents a very real part of tenant activities, so there’s new agent management and a repository among other things that will roll out in the year ahead. https://office365itpros.com/2025/11/19/ignite-2025-day-1/Effortless Time Tracking in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot
How do you stay in the flow of work when tasks move across Teams, Outlook and now M365 Copilot? Many of us already collaborate and manage our day in these Microsoft 365 tools, but logging time often feels like something separate that interrupts our focus. With https://www.klynke.com/ time tracking stays right where your work happens. It runs inside Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot, creating one consistent and natural experience for logging hours without leaving your workflow. We shared more in our blog: https://www.klynke.com/post/log-time-in-teams-outlook-copilot, and were grateful that Microsoft featured our story in a Tech Community interview: Building Secure SaaS on Microsoft Cloud. A quick look under the hood Microsoft 365 SSO (Entra ID) – Employees sign in with their existing credentials Tenant-based storage and security – Data stays within your Microsoft 365 tenant, under IT control Native experience – Same workflow in Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot Simple reporting – Export to Excel, Power BI or dashboards How do you currently manage time tracking in Microsoft 365? Would having it built directly into Teams, Outlook and M365 Copilot make a difference in your day? CTO at KlynkeEntra Agents are Promising but Could do More
Microsoft's Alex Simons came to the TEC 2025 conference to talk about the future of Entra ID, a lot of which hangs on the use of AI in components like the Entra agents that are now in preview. The idea of using agents to relieve hard-pressed human administrators is great, but only if those agents do more than a skilled human administrator can do, and that's not the case so far. https://practical365.com/entra-agents-could-do-more/Microsoft Bolts on Copilot License Check onto ExRCA
Microsoft announced a new Copilot license check diagnostic for the Exchange Connectivity Analyzer. Sounds good, but the test is very simple, and its results don’t tell you anything more than a few lines of PowerShell can deliver. To prove the point, we wrote a quick script to show how to perform a Copilot license check with the Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK. https://office365itpros.com/2025/09/08/copilot-license-check-exrca/
Copilot in PowerPoint + personal account: Status of Word-from-OneDrive option
I’m trying to get a clear answer on whether a specific Copilot feature in PowerPoint is currently working for personal Microsoft accounts. The feature I’m referring to is the ability to start a new presentation from a Word file stored in OneDrive. Microsoft’s guidance says that Copilot Pro users on personal (non-work) accounts should be able to do this by either clicking a paperclip icon or typing “/” in the Create a presentation box to select the file. However, here’s what I’m seeing: - Neither the paperclip icon nor the “/” shortcut is showing me any OneDrive files in desktop or web PowerPoint. - In Word online, I can reference a file, but this doesn’t seem to appear in the desktop version. - I’ve come across mixed reports: some say the option works for them, others say it’s limited to Insider builds or specific locations. I’d like to know: 1. Is this feature fully rolled out for personal accounts with Copilot Pro? 2. Are there version, channel, or region restrictions? 3. Are there specific requirements (e.g., file must be saved in OneDrive, AutoSave on, certain privacy settings) for the feature to appear? Any confirmation from someone with official insight or firsthand experience would help clarify if this is a rollout issue or something else.Microsoft Fixes Copilot Audit Records
After a report to the MSRC about some missing file data from Copilot audit records, Microsoft fixed the problem and audit records now contain details about the SharePoint Online files reviewed by Copilot to construct answers to user prompts. Having solid audit and compliance data is a good thing, unless you’re a lawyer charged with defending an eDiscovery action who might be asked to produce the files. https://office365itpros.com/2025/08/22/copilot-audit-records-fixed/Microsoft Introduces Copilot Memory
A July 14 post announces Copilot Memory, a method to personalize how Copilot responds to user prompts. Controls are available to disable Copilot memory on a per-user and tenant basis. Manipulation of the tenant controls is done through a Graph resources. This article explains how Copilot memory works and how to update the tenant controls with PowerShell. https://office365itpros.com/2025/08/06/microsoft-introduces-copilot-memory/Copilot in Outlook Brings AI to Email Filtering
Prioritize My Inbox is a new AI-powered mail filtering technology available in the new Outlook, OWA, Outlook (classic), and mobile clients. Unlike traditional inbox rules, Copilot's LLMs and access to Graph data makes Prioritize My Inbox much more aware of what a user does and what's important to them. Instructions allow users to tailor how filtering happens, but most is done by the AI. https://practical365.com/prioritize-my-inbox/
