Microsoft has recently announced a number of enhancements to Copilot for Teams aimed at improving collaboration during meetings, calls, and chat messaging. These improvements include the ability to extract meeting information, adapt message styles, and receive call summaries using Copilot within the Teams platform.

According to a recent survey conducted by Microsoft, users of Copilot have reported time savings of eleven minutes and improved work performance after eleven weeks of use. The company plans to introduce these improvements in phases, with enhancements to meetings scheduled for May, chat messaging for April, and call features for June.

In addition to the updates to Copilot, Microsoft has also announced the default activation of Intelliframe on Teams Rooms meeting room devices. This feature will provide equal visibility to all meeting participants, regardless of whether they are in the room or connecting remotely. It will also enhance speech recognition capabilities for more accurate transcription and information extraction with Copilot.

Furthermore, Microsoft has integrated Windows Autopilot into Teams Rooms to streamline the deployment of meeting room devices by IT teams. The company has also expanded the BYOD ecosystem with features such as shared viewing mode, smart speaker support, and BYOD IT Management for administrators.

Lastly, Microsoft has announced upcoming enhancements to the Teams Phone calling solution, enabling users to transfer, forward, and handle incoming calls from call queues or auto attendants in case of network interruptions starting in the summer. These updates are part of Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to improve collaboration and productivity within the Teams platform.
