Edge for Business will now have a dedicated policy (EdgeMicrosoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled) to enable and disable Copilot in Edge from showing in the Edge toolbar.
Introducing enhancements to live captions and live transcripts in Microsoft Teams to make meetings more intuitive, accessible, and privacy-focused. Live captions are now scrollable, allowing users to review past conversation with more flexibility and over a larger surface area. Next, copying captions is disabled by default to protect sensitive information and support compliance. Additionally, the live transcript panel won’t open automatically with features that trigger transcription—like recording, giving users greater control over their layout. Lastly, If transcription isn’t enabled, users who attempt to open the live transcript panel will see a banner suggesting they switch to live captions for real-time comprehension. These updates streamline the experience while supporting accessibility and privacy.
When Copilot detects that you’re trying to write an email—like saying “Draft an email to my team thanking them for their hard work on Project K”—you’ll see an “Edit in Outlook” button. The ‘Edit in Outlook button will open a draft in Outlook, with the subject, message, and recipients filled in, so you can review and send it with ease.
You can now manage GDPR deletion requests directly within the Engage admin center, streamlining the process and reducing reliance on the legacy Yammer admin center. This update centralizes compliance actions in one modern interface.
Copilot makes it easy to identify high-priority emails and emails that need a reply, by offering a priority view directly within your Outlook inbox.
