Streamline your meetings with Copilot! 

Are you overwhelmed by too many meetings and not enough time? We understand—when your schedule is full, it can be challenging to keep up with pre-reads, action items, or even recall the purpose of a meeting. That's where Copilot comes into play.

Always Ready to Help
  • Copilot will compile a brief summary of the meeting’s agenda, highlight important points, and even gather related files, so you won’t need to search for them!
How to Use Copilot for Meetings
    1. Open your calendar in the new Outlook or Outlook on the Web.
    2. Select a meeting that has at least three participants and some shared content.
    3. Click the “Prepare with Copilot” button.
    4. Copilot will generate a personalized summary based on your access to emails, files, and chats.
    5. Review the summary, which may include:
      • Key documents
      • Action items
      • Past meeting notes
      • Suggested talking points
The Fine Print
  • The meeting must have at least three participants (including the organizer) and related content (e.g., emails, documents, or chats).

Use Copilot to reimagine text in Word as a table! 

Highlight a paragraph in your Word document and click the Copilot icon. Then, select Visualize as a table to convert your content into a clear, structured, and user-friendly format.

Easy to Read
  • Tables simplify information for better understanding.
Quick to Find Info
  • Spot details faster than in long paragraphs.
Clear Organization
  • Related details are grouped for clarity.
Looks Neat
  • Aligned content is visually appealing.
Shows Patterns
  • Side-by-side data highlights trends.

It’s like having a smart assistant to help you work faster and easier!

Talk Instead of Type! Just speak your thoughts, and they appear on the screen. It’s perfect when you’re on the go, multitasking, or just want to give your fingers a break.

Smarter with Copilot

  • Summarize what you just said
  • Turn your words into polished text
  • Create charts or slides based on your voice input

Why Would I Use it?

  • Dictation supports multiple languages and voice commands like “new line” or “delete that,” making it super accessible and easy to use.
  • In Excel, you can say things like “show me sales trends,” and Copilot will help you visualize the data. In PowerPoint, you can dictate speaker notes while Copilot suggests slide designs.
  • Everything you say stays within your Microsoft 365 environment, following your organization’s security and privacy settings.
