Microsoft 365 Copilot AMA

That's correct, you'll have to use the New Outlook or the web app. Copilot will run in the native and web versions of the other apps as they exist today.

The user's identity and ACLs are the primary filter to what data feeds into Copilot. For connectors that pull data from non-Microsoft apps, ensure that your application has an identity driven ACL model and that user OAuth tokens are honored - the connector must put these together to filter the data flowing from the non-Microsoft app to Microsoft/Copilot. This link is a good starting point: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/connecting-external-content-connectors-overview

good question, following along

Hi Marco, we will not release a timeline for enablement, but we plan to provide administrators with guidance via the Microsoft 365 admin center and documentation to help organizations understand when the Semantic Index for Copilot is enabled

Most experiences do not need to be installed, we are going to continue streamlining end user access so it will feel like a native part of the app UX.

Currently there is no control to enable/disable Copilot per app, but you would be able to choose which users get access to it.

Also note that you'd need to export the call data into Azure to do that processing. There's a Graph API (beta endpoint) to help you do that: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/calltranscript?view=graph-rest-beta

As long as it's stored in your tenant data set, it should be picked up

By design, Copilot has access to all the content a user already has access (the first step in the data flow is that Copilot will run a search across your Graph content). So while Copilot does make the content you already have access to easier to access and more valuable, it does not provide any access that is not already present.

I wish. This is a poor format for Q&A. There needs to be a filter so we can view only the questions with Microsoft responses.

Thanks for the question Thirukumaran. We don't yet have Copilot integrated into Tech Community, but it would be a great use case to summarize questions and responses, which we'll provide in the community once the AMA is completed.

It would be a game-changer 🙂

Dear Windows Insider Programme Engineers, I am a Microsoft 365 Family subscriber and have been eagerly awaiting the addition of Copilot to my Office suite. However, despite several months of waiting and attempts to install it, I have been unsuccessful and am feeling quite disappointed. My current Microsoft version on my laptop is (Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2307 Build 16.0.16626.20028) 64-bit), and I have also subscribed to the Insider Programme. Despite this, I have not been able to activate Copilot on my account. I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could provide in resolving this issue as soon as possible. Additionally, I must express my disappointment with the unending waiting time for Copilot. If the development was not almost done, I would have preferred that Microsoft did not announce it until it was ready. This time, the announcement was made, and users like myself have been anxiously waiting for an extended period of time. Other providers did not make such a hype, yet they entered the market much earlier with their products. As a loyal Microsoft user, I find this long delay unexpected and disappointing. I urge Microsoft to end this long waiting period and provide us with the Copilot service as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Emmanuel

Thanks for asking, Kurt! Our initial Microsoft 365 Copilot launch is within the following apps, with more to come: Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Microsoft Loop.

Today it is Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, and Loop. Please read here https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/03/16/introducing-microsoft-365-copilot-your-copilot-for-work/

We'll have resources to support end users learning on how to use Copilot available on support.microsoft.com in the future.
