You can now reference SharePoint libraries and OneDrive folders when creating a presentation with Copilot using Agent Mode in PowerPoint.
We are bringing a set of new Copilot metrics including actions taken in Microsoft 365 Copilot app, Edge and OneNote, and more key use cases across Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint including suggested reply, translate, coach, clean data and more. This will empower customers to more deeply understand the key Copilot adoption cases in Copilot Dashboard and Advanced Analysis in Viva Insights.
Teams Rooms on Windows now supports separate chats for event coordination and audience engagement in structured meetings and webinars. When a room joins as an organizer, co-organizer, or presenter, organizers and presenters – including external presenters – can communicate privately in the Event Group chat, while switching to a separate chat to engage attendees. This helps to improve backstage coordination, reduce in event friction, and deliver smoother, more professional live experiences. Available in Teams Rooms Pro–licensed rooms.
