Microsoft has enhanced the Copilot AI assistant in Teams, introducing new interaction methods. Copilot can now summarize meetings and will soon combine verbal transcripts and written chats. These updates aim to offer a comprehensive view of meetings, streamlining communication.
Improved Meeting Summaries:
Copilot now automatically takes notes during calls, eliminating the need for manual note-taking. Smart video meeting summaries will be accessible on the Teams Premium plan next quarter, enhancing meeting efficiency.
Enhanced Chat Composition:
Copilot can now customize messages by adding calls to action or adjusting tone. Additionally, users will soon be able to generate new messages based on chat context, enhancing communication clarity.
Hybrid Meeting Features:
Microsoft introduces new features to improve remote participant experiences. Automatic camera switching for IntelliFrame in Teams Rooms, scheduled for later this year, will optimize remote viewing by selecting the best camera available.
Voice Recognition:
The April preview of Teams will introduce voice recognition for any microphone in Teams Rooms, ensuring accurate attribution of conversation participants in meeting transcripts.
These AI advancements enhance the flexibility and convenience of using Microsoft Teams, showcasing Microsoft’s commitment to integrating AI seamlessly into Office applications. In addition to AI integration, Microsoft collaborates with telecom operators to introduce the Teams Phone Mobile feature, enabling users to use a single number across Teams and mobile devices. New partners such as AT&T, Odido, Virgin Media O2, and Vodafone UK will offer Teams Phone Mobile later this year, adds NIXSolutions.
