Technical issue - expansion of the dialog box
Hi, I have watched prompt creation video in which the presenter had an option of expanding the Copilot dialogue box into the full screen. Upon pasting several line of text, an arrow appeared in the top right corner of the dialog box (see photo attached) This is for some unknown reason not available to me. Initially I thought it's because I was using browser rather than the app, but I have since installed the app and I cannot find the way to replicate this. I'm let to believe that I have full unrestricted license. What could be the cause of it? What am I missing? Regards TomHow to Ask AI Meeting Assistants the Right Questions During Meetings
In today’s fast-paced hybrid work world, tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot (often simply “Copilot”) that sit inside your meeting platform are dramatically changing how we interact in meetings. But having access to a powerful AI helper doesn’t automatically mean you’ll get maximum value. Much of the benefit comes down to how you ask it questions. If you pose vague, unfocused prompts, the answers will reflect that. On the other hand, well-crafted questions can turn Copilot into your strategic co-pilot during meetings. In this post, we’ll walk you through why asking the right questions matters, what kinds of questions to ask during or after a meeting, and how to ask them effectively to improve clarity, decisions, alignment, and follow-up. https://dellenny.com/how-to-ask-ai-meeting-assistants-the-right-questions-during-meetings/Turn Conversations into Reports Instantly with Copilot in Microsoft Teams
In today’s fast-paced workplace, teams spend a lot of time in chats and meetings — but too often the valuable information shared there ends up buried in a scroll of history, or forgotten after the session ends. That’s why the ability to instantly turn conversations into structured reports is a game changer. With Microsoft 365 Copilot inside Microsoft Teams, you can shift from manually summarizing threads and meeting notes to having AI generate concise, actionable summaries and reports automatically. Here’s how this works, why it matters, and how you can make it work for your team. https://dellenny.com/turn-conversations-into-reports-instantly-with-copilot-in-microsoft-teams/How Educators Can Teach AI Literacy Using Copilot
In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, teaching students how to understand, use, and critically evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t optional — it’s essential. By adopting the lens of AI literacy, educators can empower learners not just to use AI tools, but to engage with them responsibly, creatively, and ethically. AI literacy refers to “the technical knowledge, durable skills, and future-ready attitudes required to thrive in a world influenced by AI.” It’s about developing both cognitive understanding and critical awareness. One powerful way for educators to teach AI literacy is by integrating Microsoft 365 Copilot (hereafter “Copilot”) into classroom practice. With Copilot’s capabilities — from generating prompts to supporting lesson planning — teachers have a hands-on opportunity to model, scaffold, and assess AI literacy in meaningful ways. This blog outlines how educators can harness Copilot to teach AI literacy, offering frameworks, strategies, classroom applications, and ethical considerations. https://dellenny.com/how-educators-can-teach-ai-literacy-using-copilot/Copilot and Viva Empowering Employee Engagement

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a powerful ally for developers and content creators alike. Tools like GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT are revolutionizing how we write code, create documentation, and automate everyday tasks.
