AI Updates Enhance Microsoft Teams Copilot

Microsoft is improving the functionality of AI-based Copilot in Microsoft Teams by adding new ways to invite an assistant for summaries, meeting discussions and more. Copilot can already summarize Teams sessions, but over the next few months it will combine spoken transcripts and written conversations into one screen, making it easier to keep track of missed meetings.

According to the Microsoft 365 blog, the Teams application is getting a lot of updates produced by artificial intelligence. One of the updates is an improved Microsoft Copilot that can summarize your meetings. In April, Copilot will also be able to recognize you from texts based on your voice and face.

In May, Copilot can listen to meetings in real time and then provide a summary that includes a written record of what was said and a log of the text chat. In June, Copilot will also be able to monitor your VOIP calls and provide you with AI-based insights into the call, so you don’t have to remember everything yourself.

If you often struggle to speak in meetings, Copilot has a new text-based feature in April. You can ask Copilot to help you expand your message to better achieve your goals. Microsoft says you can even ask it to “make you sound like a pirate,” which could be fun for International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Additionally, Microsoft has said that it will enable the AI-powered Intelliframe feature by default. This feature makes it easy for remote workers to call into a physical meeting room to see who is there and who is not.

The AI can switch between different camera views automatically, making sure everyone stays in the frame even if they move out of view. It also has AI-powered sound isolation to minimize background noise, like when someone suddenly starts vacuuming during a call.

Finally, Microsoft has partnered with AT&T, Virgin Media O2, Odido, Vodafone UK and others to make Teams Phone Mobile more widely available later this year.

This solution aims to simplify communication by providing users with a single phone number for both Microsoft Teams and their regular phone app.
