[piggybankaccountant]

Hey Kevin and team in the comments just a side note : Microsoft rolled back some Copilot features and there is no more Windows Integration. It's also no longer linked to the Win+C shortcut.

Wonderful video anyhow.

[rj_medic]

The best overview of co-pilot I have seen yet!

[MrArray]

The thumbs up is for your unrelentless work only Vasya👍🏻

[tarekalsharif]

MAN this is cool specially the suno but it fail to sing my name..hahah. keep it coming

[MetaphoricMinds]

I don't see a plugins button. I'm using the web version on Edge. It does have a green shield that says "Commercial data protection". Chats doesn't even show up.
Chrome shows chats if I'm logged in with my business account.
To see Plugins, I have to login with my personal account.

Great Video: I'd like a video on how to disable Copilot from running at all.

[GT-hoco]

Not sure about the arm waving gestures but the video was helpful

[jessestevenson]

Kevin, I do not see the new icon in any of my applications, (word, power point or excel) How do I get them installed? I have MS 365 account

[ronwatkins]

Are there any copyright concerns with content generated by CoPilot?

[Ed-bjeq]

hi Kevin, thanks for the great overview and for the links on specific uses of Copilot, by the way it is also helpful in coding. But please tell us, when are you going to open the Kevin Cookie Company ? 😊

[joeking]

Thks for the the vid. A few notes. The windows key combos you say to open CoPilot do not work here, can only use the URL to open it. Also, on the web page there is a 'Chats' icon, but is 'Greyed out' and there is no icon to the right of that as you show, ie the 'Plugins' option, there is none here, are there different URL's ???.

[davinp]

Copilot is also built into Edge. Just click the icon in the top right of the browser

[abbana]

Fantastic!!! truly loved the explanation... Simple, Clear, Easy to Understand,
