Microsoft Revamps Purview Retention Policies for Copilot
Purview data lifecycle management is changing how Copilot retention policies work. First, legacy policies which process compliance records for both Teams chat messages and Copilot interactions will stop processing Copilot data (so new retention policies are needed). Second, Microsoft is introducing support for retention policies to process Copilot memory files. We don’t quite know yet how compliance officers will make use of Copilot memory files, but I guess we’ll see in the future. https://office365itpros.com/2026/10/26/copilot-retention-policies-update/
Please Remove Daily Cap Usage for Free Copilot Text Chat
Dear Microsoft Copilot Team, I am writing to express my disappointment with the new daily usage caps on Microsoft Copilot, particularly for ordinary text-based conversations. In the past, I could use Copilot freely for everyday questions, learning, research, brainstorming, and general conversations without constantly worrying about reaching a daily limit. The newer restrictions have made the experience significantly more frustrating and less useful. I understand that running AI services requires computing resources and that Microsoft must manage operating costs. However, I believe ordinary text chat should remain uncapped, especially when it was previously possible to use Copilot much more freely. Text conversations are a fundamental part of the service, and users should not have to stop in the middle of a useful discussion because they have exhausted a daily allowance. The move toward a unified Copilot experience should make the product simpler, more consistent, and more useful—not make existing users feel that they have lost access to a service they have come to rely on. I am therefore asking Microsoft to: Remove daily usage caps entirely for ordinary text-based Copilot conversations, including for free users. Keep basic text chat freely accessible without arbitrary daily cutoffs or lengthy waiting periods. If stricter limits are necessary for resource-intensive features such as image generation or advanced research, apply those limits separately rather than restricting ordinary text conversations. Clearly communicate any usage policies and reconsider changes that negatively affect the experience of long-time users. Unlimited text chat would help preserve user trust, encourage continued engagement, and distinguish Copilot as an accessible AI assistant for everyone. Restricting basic conversations risks pushing loyal users toward competing services that offer a more suitable experience. I hope Microsoft will take this feedback seriously and reconsider the current daily cap policy. Please restore uncapped text chat so users can rely on Copilot whenever they need assistance, without worrying about running out of messages. People on Reddit and online have been criticizing these changes ever since Copilot was unified under one product between enterprise and personal, If you guys dont do anything now it might reduce user trust and might be bad business decisions so please fix Copilot Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to seeing Microsoft make Copilot more accessible and user-friendly again.Fix all annoying Copilot bugs
I’m experiencing an issue with Microsoft Edge on Android. Starting today (September 22, 2026), whenever I try to visit copilot.microsoft.com, Edge automatically redirects me to the Google Play Store to install the Copilot app. I prefer using Copilot in the browser and do not want to install the app. And even when i try to install the copilot app it does not let me do anything and thinks I need a license or subscription to access it like copilot is litterly supposed to be free and also even when i try to get rid of the app redirection it for some dumb reason it redirects me to from copilot.microsoft.com to copilot.com and they put in restrictions like after a lot of chats you must wait for a specific time period and a couple months ago you guys removed the ability to use copilot without registration like come on that is so dumb I want Microsoft Copilot to be fixed revert how copilot was before how is this consumer friendlyDifference between Copilot Agent settings and Microsoft Agent 365 Agent settings
Hello, I am trying to better understand the distinction between the agent governance settings available in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Currently, I can find seemingly similar agent access settings in two different locations: Copilot → Settings → Agents Agents → Settings → User Access (Microsoft Agent 365) For example, both locations appear to provide controls such as : Who can access agents Whether access is granted to all users or specific groups Agent usage permissions From an administrator perspective, it is not clear whether these are two different configuration scopes, two different management experiences, or simply two entry points to the same underlying policy. So : What is the intended difference between the Copilot settings experience and the Agent 365 settings experience ? Which interface should be considered the primary administration location going forward ? Are the settings synchronized and backed by the same configuration objects ? Is one of these experiences planned to replace the other in the future ? What governance scenarios should be managed in Copilot settings versus Agent 365 settings ? Thank you for your help.
Agent not visible in M365 Copilot
I created an agent in M365, including its name, description, instructions, and required actions. The agent is properly tested in Copilot Studio and published, but it is not visible in the M365 Copilot agent list. Interestingly, one agent is visible while the other is not, and I am unable to determine the issue.Copilot no longer supports image uploads
Copilot is no longer allowing image uploading/uploading. Neither in web mode nor in work mode. Does anyone know if they took away the resource for good or if it is some instability? The official documentation mentions that at least in web mode it should be supported. Document Reference: File formats supported by Copilot - Microsoft Support
CoPilot Microsoft Account login shows unknown account
Hi, I have installed copilot on iphone. While logging in using the 'Microsoft Account', it shows me 4 accounts. One of them is my personal account and two are my office accounts. But then it shows me a third hotmail.com that I don't recognize at all. I have cleared any cache from Chrome Safari or Edge. I have also paused and started the syncing of 'Passwords' to iCloud. But nothing has helped. Please help. I am sure this falls under the Security and Compliance category and should be seriously looked into. Thanks, Chandan
CoPilot "An external link was removed to protect your privacy"
Scenario: I am signed in to corporate CoPilot for M365. I'm asking CoPilot app on desktop in "WORK" mode to generate an excel file with some fictitious data & make it available in an Excel file. CoPilot generates the table, then removes the link to the file 😑 I can use it in "WEB" mode to do the same, and it generates a BING URL that then results in a 404. <sigh> I can SIGN OUT and use generic CoPilot. That will generate a file, then prompt me for corporate credentials, and then it gives me the file. The question: How do I get file generation working while logged in to my corporate account? Do we have a security permission causing issues?
