Employees can bring Copilot from their personal Microsoft 365 plans to work - what it means for IT
Today, we made some exciting announcements for Microsoft 365 Personal, Family and the new Premium plans. Among them is how employees can use Copilot from these plans on their work documents with Enterprise Data Protection, even if they don’t have a M365 Copilot license from your organization.
Creating Work Instructions/Process from a video with Copilot
I'm looking to document a process in the most efficient way possible. Has anyone been able to use Copilot to interpret a video from Teams or a screen recording and have it create accurate work instructions? Would like to save time and avoid manually typing work instructions by potentially using Copilot to speed up this process. Any tutorials would be much appreciated.How to start with your Copilot habit
Are you serious about integrating Copilot in your daily flow? But it is hard to stick to it! 🙄 Take a look to these tips. 👇 The trick is to build the Copilot habit A habit, an action that sticks over time. Habits are quite difficult to adopt. One thing is to wish to use Copilot every day. And literally another is to in fact use Copilot every day. At the end of the day, here's the big question: How to get from where you are with Copilot today To where you want to be with Copilot 🎯 1. Pick a fresh start Why? ✅ Fresh starts put you in the right mental state. ✅ They give you permission to reinvent your daily routine. ✅ They help you build on existing habits to adopt new ones. It’s like when the counter resets to 0. It’s like restarting your computer. Suddenly, everything runs more smoothly. 💡 What is a fresh start? September is all about fresh starts. School begins. Summer ends. Fall kicks off. The most popular fresh start is New Years Eve. Fresh starts can be also related to major changes, like moving in to a new apartment. How to use a fresh start? 1️⃣ Set a goal: Think of one area where you want to improve with Copilot. For example, I want to prioritize better so my daily actions align more consistently with my goals. 2️⃣ Choose a fresh start date: Brainstorm upcoming dates that could mark a new chapter with Copilot. How about now the fall kick-off? 🍁 For me, the end of summer signals a new beginning. My fresh start is September 15. 3️⃣ Make it concrete: Write down the new habit you want to build. Good intentions alone won’t create lasting change—they’re easy to forget. By writing your intentions, you are more likely to commit. 2. Formulate your new Copilot habit Behavioral scientists agree on linking a new habit to an existing one makes it easier to adopt. I use James Clear’s Atomic Habits framework to make my habit specific and actionable: “When situation X happens, then I will do Y.” Where X is the trigger, an existing habit already part of your daily flow. Where Y is the new Copilot habit you want to build. Here’s my commitment: 👉 When I open my calendar in the morning, I will use Copilot to identify my top 3 priorities for the day. Here is a simple formular to formulate your new Copilot habit: Formulated habit = your goal + fresh start date + written intentions 3. Make your new habit convenient If Copilot is difficult to access, chances are that you forget to use it. Set you up for success. How? Make it easier for you to use Copilot. Quick access to Copilot is key Currently the quickest way to start chatting with Copilot is pressing Win + C on Windows. At the moment, the easiest way to use M365 Copilot is using the M365 Copilot app on desktop and mobile. Why? The app is pre-installed with Windows. It is pinned to the taskbar by default. It starts when you log in, but minimised. Create the M365 Copilot app shortcut, if you are one of those who prefers to use desktop shortcuts. How? Open the M365 Copilot app >> Click on the ellipses next to your profile pic menu >> Select "Pinning and start" >> Click on "Create desktop shortcut". That's it!

We need help solving a critical integration gap between Microsoft 365 Copilot and Salesforce.
The challenge: We want Copilot to access Salesforce data (including custom objects) while honoring each user’s Salesforce permissions—profiles, field‑level security, and sharing rules. Current out‑of‑box connectors don’t support this. Using an all‑access integration account is a compliance risk. Why it matters: Copilot is only valuable if answers are both accurate and secure. If a user sees data in Copilot they shouldn’t in Salesforce, that’s a governance nightmare. What we’re looking for: ✅ Support for custom objects & fields ✅ Enforcement of Salesforce profiles, FLS, and sharing ✅ Delegated user authentication (Entra ID ↔ Salesforce) ✅ Works with Microsoft 365 Copilot grounding Questions: - Has anyone implemented this successfully? - Is there a Microsoft or Salesforce roadmap for delegated auth in Copilot connectors? - Do you know a partner or expert who can build this securely? Let’s make Copilot + Salesforce both powerful and compliant.Outlook Prioritize Inbox missing from client
Hey everyone, Just wanted to check for enterprise licensed users if you have access to the 'Prioritize Inbox' feature in Outlook. Unfortunately, it hasn't appeared in our client yet, also it's missing from the admin message center (used to be visible there). We have plenty of users who could take advantage of this feature and yet it is nowhere to be found. I have reached out to our Microsoft contact, who had it enabled, and stated that it's coming... coming when? All best, Kamil
Making Copilot the most popular AI on Windows by unlocking its native potential
I believe Copilot has the potential to become the most popular and powerful AI on Windows — not just by answering general questions, but by becoming a truly device-aware assistant. Copilot is already built into Windows and connected to Microsoft apps. So why not make it smart enough to understand your specific computer, your installed apps, and your Microsoft ecosystem? Imagine being able to ask: “Can I run this game on my laptop?” “What’s the best photo editor for my Surface?” “Why is my Outlook calendar not syncing?” “Which apps are slowing down my system?” And Copilot would answer instantly — no need to search Google or read through links. It would also help users navigate Microsoft 365 tools like Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with built-in intelligent guidance tailored to their setup. I call this concept Copilot Local Intelligence Mode — a feature that turns Copilot into a true digital companion, not just a chatbot. It would: Understand your system specs and performance Recommend compatible apps from the https://apps.microsoft.com/ Troubleshoot issues based on your actual device Support users with smart tips across https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365 Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or support for this idea. Let’s make Copilot the smartest part of Windows. #Copilot #WindowsAI #Microsoft365 # I’ve submitted this idea to the Feedback Hub — you can upvote it here:[ https://aka.ms/AAy4l00]
