YouTube Video - How to Use Copilot in Teams Meetings

Copilot in Microsoft Teams meetings helps streamline collaboration before, during, and after your sessions. Ahead of a meeting, it can draft agendas, summarize previous discussions, and prepare pre-read materials so participants are aligned. During the meeting, Copilot provides real-time transcription, organizes notes, and automatically identifies action items. It can also answer contextual questions, such as “What did we decide about the budget last time?”, by pulling relevant information from past meetings or chats.

After the meeting, Copilot generates a detailed recap that includes key decisions, discussion highlights, and assigned tasks. It can also draft follow-up messages or emails to share outcomes and next steps, helping keep everyone on track. Additionally, Copilot enables quick searches across past meetings for decisions or tasks, ensuring continuity and reducing time spent digging through notes.
