Short Version
Microsoft is adding a Copilot chat feature that will let you send quick meeting RSVPs directly in chat. Now due mid-January to mid-February.
Details
Microsoft will introduce a new capability in Microsoft 365 Copilot chat that will let you RSVP to meetings directly within the chat experience. This enhancement could simplify meeting management by allowing you to respond with Accept, Decline, Tentative, Follow, or remove cancelled meetings without leaving the Copilot chat.

Hopefully, we’ll be able to ask it to find all outstanding RSVPs, and each result will have its own options, unlike the single response for all in the image above.
AvailabilityNow due early to late January 2026.
