Key features of Microsoft 365 Copilot in Microsoft Teams
Microsoft 365 Copilot offers some of its most interesting features in Microsoft Teams, allowing you to retrieve information shared with colleagues and use it to create new content, organize tasks, and get a quick summary of everything going on in the company.
Let's look at Copilot's key features in the Teams app below.
Intelligent Meeting Recap
With the arrival of Copilot, you can now access a meeting summary that is generated by Microsoft's Artificial Intelligence based on what was said verbally during the meeting.
In fact, at the end of the meeting, Copilot creates a summary with:
- Meeting recording
- Timeline, with participant speeches highlighted
- Summary of what participants said and wrote in chat
- Shared notes and assigned tasks to be scheduled
The user can ask questions and requests about the content in all languages supported by Copilot, receive a direct response in conversational form, and find the precise point in the transcript where the AI took the information to respond.
It is important to note that the recap feature is also available for non-calendar meetings, as long as they are recorded or the transcript feature is enabled.
It is even more important to remember, however, that Teams intelligent recap is only visible if the meeting was created by you or one of your colleagues (with accounts in the same Microsoft 365 tenant). If you are invited by an outsider, you will not have the recap available.
Copilot as an aid during a Teams meeting
Microsoft 365 Copilot also offers support during a call by providing the dedicated chat where you can make your requests. In this way, the user has the ability to:
- Generate content to share live
- Draw up a list of tasks to be performed
- Simultaneously translate interventions
- Ask Copilot to remind them of a topic mentioned during the meeting
And much more.
For users who arrive late to the meeting, it then always comes in handy to request a summary of what was said. This optimizes time and avoids unnecessary repetition.
Searching for information
Users with access to Copilot can request to retrieve information shared within private 1-to-1 chats or private chats between multiple users.
For those who use Teams for conversation with their colleagues, Copilot turns out to be a game-changer to avoid time wasted searching for shared information within Teams chats. By opening Copilot, it is possible to ask the AI to retrieve specific content that has been shared within the chat, without having to search for it by hand.
