AI-powered live interpretation will be available on certified Microsoft Teams Phone devices for users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license starting mid-May 2026. It supports real-time language interpretation during various call types, requires policy enablement, is off by default, and excludes pure PSTN group calls.
Microsoft Purview DLP will add real-time evaluation to block sensitive data in Microsoft 365 Copilot and Copilot Chat from external web searches. When blocked, Copilot uses internal Microsoft Graph data. Rollout begins late March 2026; admins must opt in by updating DLP policies in the Purview portal.
Admins will soon be able to assign third-party AI model providers like Anthropic and xAI to specific users or groups in Microsoft 365 Copilot via a new control in the Microsoft Admin Center. This rollout begins in late April 2026 and supports Entra ID group-based access management.
With this release, the file type coverage to scan, classify and protect sensitive content on Mac devices with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention policies will increase from current ~40 file types to 100+ file types. This release will make the coverage of file types on endpoint consistent with other locations such as Exchange, SharePoint and OneDrive. This will also include other enhancements like detecting label from pfile, detecting sensitive content in metadata, and detecting sensitive content in PDF forms.
You can now choose your preferred image model including OpenAI’s GPT Image, Flux, or Auto for smart, dynamic selection when creating or editing images with Copilot in PowerPoint, or when generating a new presentation or page.
Support for bulk breakout room participant assignment using a CSV file, helping organizers save time when setting up breakout rooms.
The Copilot Dashboard adoption landing page will be updated to show a unified view of Copilot adoption across the organization. Instead of the default page showing only on Microsoft 365 Copilot (licensed) usage, the page will include all Copilot user adoption, covering both M365 Copilot and Copilot Chat usage that does not require a license. A License filter will allow users to switch between All, M365 Copilot (licensed), and Copilot Chat (unlicensed) views.
