M365 Copilot Prerequisites I enjoy having conversations about various topics with different people. Here and there, I get asked about M365 Copilot. And here and there, I confirm how organizations want to bake the cake without first gathering all the ingredients. A: Let's deploy Copilot. B: Sure! Have you already adopted OneDrive? A: No, we are still using our file server. Why? An optimal usage of M365 is a prerequisite for enabling M365 Copilot. Happy M365 users = happy M365 Copilot users.

MS Entra ID account Formerly Azure Active Directory, MS Entra ID is the cloud-based identity and access management service. Users must have MS Entra ID account. Why? As the motor for identity and access control and management in M365, Microsoft Entra ID plays a key role in Enterprise Data Protection. In other words, without MS Entra ID account, there's no chance within M365 architecture to ensure Enterprise Data Protection. OneDrive account Have you tried to see what happens if you use M365 Copilot without a OneDrive account? I haven't myself, if you've tried, share your experience with me, send me a message. 👇 Some features in M365 Copilot require users to have a OneDrive account, like uploading a file from your device to enrich a prompt. Uploading a file to a Copilot Chat prompt will send a copy to that location OneDrive/my files/Microsoft Copilot Chat Files on your OneDrive for Business account. Microsoft 365 Apps Cloud-based Microsoft 365 Apps are required. Make sure there's no device-based licensing for M365 Apps for enterprise, since Copilot isn't available in such a case. M365 Copilot also integrates in the web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. To ensure a good user experience, make sure thrid-party cookies are enabled. Update Channel To ensure your users receive the latest M365 Copilot features, make sure you set up as M365 Apps update channel either the Current or Monthly Enterprise Channel. Outlook Have you tried to use M365 Copilot in Outlook Classic? M365 Copilot works in both, the new and classic versions. In the Outlook classic version, it loses the interactivity features, which I personally love. Teams If your users are licensed with M365 Copilot, then let them try the M365 Copilot integration in MS Teams. Copilot in Teams can help people summarize Teams messages as well as take notes during meetings. Make sure to configure transcription and captions for Teams meeting and Teams meeting recording.
Web content plug-in management in M365 Copilot
Hi, Referring to this announcement MC882258 in message center, MS informed that web content plug-in management will be removed from M365 admin center, rather it will be managed as part of Optional Connected Experience for M365. We have currently disabled this web content plug-in in our environment but allowed Optional Connected Exp for the users. After this announced change, how web content plug-in will behave? Will it enabled because we have Optional connected exp. enabled? Secondly, what is the reason behind this change? Why MS has taken individual control setting away and mixed it with so many optional connected exp. where we do not have an option to choose which optional connected exp. we want to enable/disable. Its like all or nothing.
