Microsoft 365 Copilot: An easier way for users to delete Copilot activity history button in their Microsoft Account
Coming soon in Microsoft Teams: An easier way for user to delete their Copilot account history from all applications. When users select Open Copilot activity history in Teams, they will be taken directly to the Settings & Privacy page in their My Microsoft account. This new entry point applies to Teams for Windows desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for iOS/Android. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to access this feature.
When this will happen:
General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out mid-December 2024 and expect to complete by late December 2024.
How this will affect your organization:
Before this rollout, users must navigate to their My Microsoft account to delete their Copilot interaction history. After this rollout, they can access the My Microsoft account Settings & Privacy page directly from Teams. On the My Microsoft page, they can delete the Copilot activity history for all Microsoft 365 apps with Copilot activity history.
In Teams for Windows desktop, users can find Open Copilot activity history under the Privacy > Delete Copilot activity history setting:
In Teams for Android/iOS, users can find Open Copilot activity history under the Copilot setting:
Users will be taken to the Settings & Privacy page in their My Microsoft account:
If users select Delete history, this popup appears:
A tool tip will guide users to these controls in the Welcome message in Copilot for chat, channels, and meetings (desktop tool tip on the left, iOS/Android tooltip on the right):
What you need to do to prepare:
This change will be available by default to all Teams users with a Copilot license on Windows desktop, Mac desktop, or iOS/Android. Manage Microsoft 365 Copilot settings | Microsoft Learn explains how to disable Copilot at the tenant level if desired.
This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. Review your current configuration to determine the impact for your organization. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
