Any caveats or gotchas you experienced? Copilot missing in Teams chat for many users We are piloting Copilot for Microsoft 365. Some of our users see Copilot at the top of the Teams chat list. Many do not. All have a Copilot license. The issue occurs in both the full Windows client and web version. iOS version does show Copilot in chat. All are running the same version of Teams. Those who don't have it also don't have a switch in settings to turn it on. Is this being slowly rolled out? Is it bugged? Using groups to assign admin roles - works great except... About a year ago we migrated our internal processes to using Entra ID security groups to manage Entra ID role assignment. It is mostly a good solution, but over time we started finding issues that Microsoft either can't or is unwilling to fix. Their "solution" is always to "assign the role directly", which isn't scalable for an organization that doesn't own entitlement to PIM. Below are the roles and functionality that are broken if roles are not directly assigned: Exchange Administrator - Unable to download message trace logs Groups Administrator / Global Administrator - Unable to configure group expiration policy Power Platform Administrator / Global Administrator - Unable to elevate to Power Platform System Administrator role in environments Do others have this issue? Is there any hope of MS actually fixing this, or are we going to have to switch our process back to direct role assignment by some other means? Group expiration policy - what criteria does the policy use to determine when a group expires? We are considering enabling group expiration on 80k+ groups. Before we do so we would like to understand which groups will be affected. There isn't any documentation that I could find on which criteria the group expiration policy uses, and when we opened a case with Microsoft they weren't able to tell us much other than 'check audit logs', which doesn't help since that only keeps data for 90 days. Does anyone have any insight on this one? Maybe a way to run a 'what-if' scenario before we kick off the policy? Thanks! SolvedTeams Speaker Coach preview - when will it be fully rolled out? We would like to roll out Speaker Coach to our organization but are hesitant since it is still in "Preview" (since 2022). Is anyone aware of timing on this functionality moving out of Preview? Preview: Speaker Coach in Microsoft Teams meetings - Microsoft Support technical description of how enforcing commercial data protection works Microsoft documentation describes how to enforce commercial data protectionfairly well, however I'm not finding a technical description of how specifically these methods actually work. For example, if we enforce using the DNS method, and a user doesn't have CDP enabled on their 365 license for some reason, can they still access copilot? Or if they don't sign in, can they still access copilot from a work device? Regarding 'Improved responses with web content' If we administratively enable the ‘Improved responses with web content in Copilot for Microsoft 365’ setting and a user chooses to enable it, are those web calls protected by Commercial Data Protection as if we were using the public Copilot with Commercial Data Protection? If so, is there a document that specifically calls that out? ownerless group policy for large numbers of ownerless groups Has anyone enabled the ownerless group policy in a tenant where it would surpass the 10k messages per day Exchange mailbox limit? If you have experience with this particular scenario, would you mind sharing how you worked around it? Thanks! what happens to data that has a retain-only retention policy in an expired group? We are looking into deploying group expiration. If we apply a retain-only retention policy (say, for 5 years) to data, and the group in which that data resides becomes dormant and expires prior to the 5 year mark, is the data retained, then deleted at the five-year mark? Do scheduled messages still get sent after a user is in the 30-day soft deleted state? Subject asks it all!
