Copilot for Teams Meetings

Yes, Copilot utilizes Microsoft Teams' built-in transcription capabilities to listen to the meeting in real-time. However, it goes far beyond simple transcription by actively analyzing the conversation to track decisions and assign owners during the call. This creates a structured, searchable record directly linked to the Microsoft 365 environment.

No, only the meeting organizer or a participant with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license needs to activate it for the AI to start generating notes and insights. Once activated by an authorized user, Copilot functions for the whole meeting context. However, participants without a license will not have access to generate ad-hoc queries or personalized post-meeting prompts.

Yes, generating a bulleted list of action items based on 'Who agreed to do What by When' is one of its core features. It uses natural language processing to identify verbal commitments made during the call and maps them to the respective speakers. These action items can then be pushed directly into Microsoft Planner or To Do.

Yes, Copilot captures the entire transcript from the moment the recording or transcription starts, regardless of when participants join. If a user joins late, they can even prompt Copilot mid-meeting to ask what they have missed so far. The AI will instantly summarize the key decisions and discussions that occurred prior to their arrival.
