As always I wish it would be so damn expensive. 240 dollars a year is too much.

I wish Copilot would make cookies for me. I'll have to make them myself

[platinumkingzrecords]

Thanks Kevin as always. Can we use copilot during an interview to help with answering questions?

[teofilomena]

Will this notify everyone in the meeting we are using this feature?

[ludvighellberg]

It's not true that you have to use the old version of Outlook to be able to use Copilot. It works just fine in "old" desktop version for me, although the option to schedule a meeting with Copilot is missing in the old version. And perhaps some more options is missing. That I don't know.

Hi Kevin, thank you for your this video as your insights and detailed walkthroughs are always incredibly helpful and informative.

I have a suggestion for a future video that I believe would be very beneficial for many users, including myself. Could you create a tutorial on how to use Copilot to take the content of a meeting, such as meeting notes, and seamlessly add it into a draft email response? Additionally, it would be great if you could explore the different options for using Copilot to integrate content across various Microsoft 365 applications.

Your expertise and clear explanations make complex topics much more accessible, and I’m sure this topic would be no exception.

Thank you once again for your fantastic content. Looking forward to your next video.

Lol this is such a joke. So tired of companies acting like this stuff is anything close to AI, greatest misnomer in business today. It's an overpriced, overhyped, mostly worthless gimmick that is really only useful to the most useless of employees and we don't make it a habit of hiring those types of people.

[leebicke]

Do other people on a teams meeting see if your using co pilot ??

[deneencunningham]

It would be great if it could transcribe a phone call, does any software do this for in person and phone calls

[Liwindo]

Your presentation of the topic is great as always. I would love to see more update videos of new features of microsoft products. Unfortunately, Copilot is still a long way from what the name suggests. I'm using it since a few weeks at work and it gives the impression of a beta - it can't create content, can't execute taks, like task planning and it can't manipulate the content of PowerPoint, Excel etc. Pretty little capability for a lot of money per month. Sorry to say that but Microsoft is disappointing across the board here.

I believe the best message for customers out there is you don’t need to adopt copilot for every user. Identify the key scenarios and start with few users. Based on that you can decide who will really benefit from that investment.
Even Microsoft acknowledges this approach.

Overrated in my opinion

Its sad no monthly subscription to test it..

Say a lot about the product

Don’t see much difference from chatgpt of copilot web

Probably security but real business value is low

[KR-ivyh]

It seems like everything needs to look and sound perfect for Copilot to actually get things done... which in real life, is never the case..

[MercilessSlayer]

Thank you for sharing. This is very useful.

HELP, there is no copilot on my teams and outlook
