Use Copilot in a Teams Chat

1. Go to Chat on the left side of Teams, then select a specific chat from the list.
2. Select Open Copilot in the upper-right corner of the chat—you'll see the Copilot icon in a one-on-one chat, group chat, and meeting chat.
3. Under the compose box to the right of your chat, select More prompts to choose from the following options:
   - Highlights from the past day.
   - Highlights from the past 7 days.
   - Highlights from the past 30 days.
   - What decisions were made?
   - What are the open items?
4. Type a prompt in the compose box, then select Send. Try these:
   - Summarize what I've missed.
   - What did [a member of the chat] say?
   - What links were shared?

5.   Once Copilot generates a response, try this:

• Select Copy at the upper-right corner of the response and paste into the chat, a channel conversation, or anywhere else.
• See citations by selecting the numbers next to each statement in the response. Once selected, the chat to the left of the Copilot pane will scroll to that particular message in the chat thread.
• Depending on your admin settings, you may have the option to leave feedback by selecting the thumbs up or thumbs down at the bottom-right of the response to send directly to Microsoft.

Use Copilot in a Teams Channel

1. Go to Teams on the left side of Teams, then select a specific channel within a team.
2. Within the channel discussion, select the link below the channel post to expand the replies and see the full conversation.

3. From this immersive channel post view, select Open Copilot in the upper-right corner of the channel view.

4. Under the compose box to the right of your channel, select More prompts to choose from the following options:
   - Highlights from the conversation.
   - What decisions were made?
   - What are the open items?
5. Type a prompt in the compose box, then select Send.

Limitations

In chat scenarios, Copilot is limited on how much data it can process and how far back it will go to fetch an answer. The farthest Copilot can process is 30 days from the most recent message sent. It may also be further limited by retention policies. In meeting scenarios, long meetings (longer than 2hr) may be affected by longer latency compared to shorter ones.

English, Spanish, Japanese, French, German, Portuguese, Italian and Chinese Simplified are supported in Copilot scenarios, the quality is expected to be better when inputs are in English, while in other languages the quality is expected to be improved over time.
