[@AdoniasRumoAoTopo]

I am from brazil and I am really astonished with those infinite possibilities

[@rajeshbhosale2008]

Thank you for providing such a comprehensive overview of MS Copilot, Andy. Your insights are incredibly helpful and informative.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

You’re welcome👍

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Take its results with a MASSIVE pinch of salt. We're still testing it and it transcribed a meeting I was in. It said "Steve said there is an issue with the phone system and he'll fix it shortly". 1. There was nothing wrong with the phone system. 2. I never said that, it just made the whole bit up. 9:58 Also would be good to point out its flaws and that its not perfect, because its clear its not.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Absolutley

[@rajvenkatesh3580]

Really useful to Get started as the thumbnail suggest. Thank you so much..

[@user-kc8hy7iw4p]

U r a pro🎉

[@eointhomas2914]

The email one was a good example, not sure many companies would be happy with this AI reading through their emails

[@lifeslooker]

what benefits does Copilot offer in terms of Excel/ Sharepoint/ etc? Same as the other connected apps? What are the security concerns regarding gaining info from other sources ( cause this is what it does as this is AI, like chatgpt )

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Absolutely there are many benefits for both SharePoint and XL in the form of data sorting, analysis charting and graphs and so much more. Check out the Copilot lab for details and demos. It’s I really good resource 👍

[@lifeslooker]

@@AndyMaloneMVP is this rivalling Power BI in any way/ competing with it and its functions?

[@MuhammadAhmedMuddie]

Thanks, sir, for this... but I have issues in my CoPilot main chat, and in Excel and PowerPoint especially... I can not see the "add file" button option... which is sad... yes, I am a pro user and have 365 sub. Please help! 🙏

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Sorry, I’ve not come across those issues. I would either post in the Microsoft tech community or contact support. Good luck 👍

[@Aichauer]

can i use my own masters or templates in powerpoint together with copilot?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

I don’t see why not

[@jojolization]

really wanted to learn more about it, however, I can't convince my company to buy a copilot license (even 1 license for the pilot test) as this is quite expensive. How i can tackle it and try this feature personally?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Hear you but we’re all in the same boat.

[@jojolization]

@@AndyMaloneMVP even you as a MVP, you didn't be invited to have the trial license?

[@micharuta8377]

Great content, but record a video about what Copilot can do in excel.

[@lifeslooker]

So, Copilot is Clippy on steriods!!!!! LOL Looks lik an awesome tool

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Well, I can tell you after a run in with clippy a month ago he is very happy with his grandchild 😆

[@glrfi4eva]

does it work on MS Office for Mac?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Yes

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Yes

[@maximrybchenko6578]

It is all good, but in word online wrap text doesn't work, you can't make it behind the text and in front of text.

[@Zachsnotboard]

[@TayschrennSedai]

Now, how do we disable it globally on all systems and applications to ensure our IP/ITAR is protected without paying Microsoft for additional charges like our own Ai instance. I see these and laugh out loud at all the companies going for CMMC that are being forced to pay extra because Microsoft doesn't make things easy or even possible to disable it not enable in the first place.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Don’t sign up to Microsoft 365 copilot.

[@TayschrennSedai]

@@AndyMaloneMVP except you can't fully. Copilot and Ai has been forced down everyone's throats by Microsoft. It's auto enabled in almost every system, and their guides are horrible or outright inaccurate on how to disable it for an enterprise tenant. This is hugely problematic for anyone concerned about compliance requirements.
