Short Version
The Microsoft 365 Copilot podcast feature is gaining real-time voice interactions. Now due early February to early March 2026.
Details
Copilot audio summaries are a great way to absorb document content, but as you would expect, they are a one-way experience. Microsoft is introducing real-time voice interactions in the Podcast feature so you can speak to the ‘presenter’ and clarify, explore, or dive deeper into the content.
Updated 22nd January 2026: This feature will be enabled for English-US only initially.
