TL;DR
Microsoft Copilot will soon be able to answer questions based on content shared onscreen during a Teams meeting. Due mid-March to early April 2025.
Details
Microsoft: “Copilot will be able to understand slides, documents, spreadsheets, and websites, or anything else shared onscreen. Users will be able to ask simple recall questions, such as “Show me the content that was shared on the screen” or more specific questions like “what was the Sales target number” if it was shared on a previous slide. Users will also be able to combine screenshare with transcript and chat data to ask, “Show me all the slides and the feedback on each slide,” or “Rewrite the paragraph based on the comments from the audience”.”
Notes:
- The meeting must be recorded and transcribed for this feature to work
- The specific slide, document, spreadsheet, and website must be shared for longer than 10 seconds. This rule aims to protect accidental screen shares from Copilot.
- Deleting a recording will also delete associated screen data, so Copilot will no longer have access to that screen data.
- This update applies to Teams on VDI, Windows/Mac desktop, web, iOS/Android.
- A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to use this feature.
