Kevin got big doing videos for Microsoft. But then he quit his job at Microsoft and started making his own stuff. So now Microsoft probably pays him double or triple to make the same videos - I think that's the real lesson here LOL

In all your Copilot videos, you just show the Copilot button is already integrated in any Office tools such as Excel, Outlook, Word etc., but you didn't show or explain how did you install Copilot into Office tools and is it for free or it's a abo with cost. I hope you could add this info.

Hi Kevin thanks for your amazing videos.. I was hoping you can do a video for copilot image prompts specifically for good photographic realistic images of rooms and lighting..I don't seem to be getting good results..thank you

If I spend too much time on the prompt I might as well teach myself the topic I'm asking about.

[holmis]

I usually set the role of what the copilot's answer will be like. For example, "As a professor in economics, what are the most used Cost and Income terms in Business Economics?" I find this to be extremely helpful.

I don't see Copilot tab on my Microsoft 365 apps. How can I?

[salehfaraj]

As always, your video is so informative and beneficial for us. Many thanks for your effort

[clivekingshott]

Copilot is inconsistent, the same prompt gets different responses! Makes me mad!

[Trailand-kr]

give us back the "" come We like the previous vibes they made this channel an icon

[timothymulholland]

By now you could have written the message yourself.

[LuLu_World]

my company shut off access to copilot …wtf

[louamato]

Wow. I can't wait to try it out on helping me stay up to date with my tasks generated from the 100 emails I receive daily for work.

[alireza]

Thanks Kevin for the lesson... Great as usual.

[sridharsathya]

Is Copilot included in all 365 apps? Don't I have to pay an additional $20 a month to get it?

[MonikaR]

That really helped me to understand Copilot. Thank you very much. How come that I do not have Copilot in my Office 365 applications? What do I need to do to get it in PowerPoint, Excel etc.?

[chamanthawickramarathne]

Thanks Kevin for sharing this valuable info regarding Copilot.

[MercilessSlayer]

Is there a way for copilot texts to be humanized? It seems everything is written by AI, and it is not good. There is a lack of emotion in the writing. Thanks.
