Thanks Lisa, the pace that this is moving at, a clear video like this makes a lot of difference to everyone looking to stay up to speed. Appreciated loads.

[@LisaCrosbie]

Appreciate that so much from you, thank you 😊

Hi Lisa, as always extremely useful. MS is always a challenge with their constant name changes and licensing.

[@PaulVideos-g3w]

Lisa, great video. For the non-paid, I don't see options to create an agent and when I go to CP Studio, it asks me about a free trial. I expected the ability to create agents in both places from you talked about.

[@hit4success]

Dear Lisa, Great video and very informative

[@dbourgeau]

Others have asked a similar question, but is it possible to get the "Create an Agent" button without having a paid Studio (or other) license? It seems like everything says you can both create and use for free (assuming the no-charge type of agent use), but the creation side of things is disabled. What am I missing?

Great video Lisa as always and very informative

[@HowtowithRj]

Thanks so much Lisa, very helpful.

[@AliMuratAlkanli]

Hi Lisa. Thanks for clarifying the differences between these two versions. Could you please share the link from Microsoft website that compares both versions?

[@LisaCrosbie]

Oops, I missed that, thanks for picking that up! Here it is, and I've added it to the description now. www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2025/01/15/copilot-for-all-introducing-microsoft-365-copilot-chat/

[@AliMuratAlkanli]

@@LisaCrosbie Thank you ;-)

[@GarethDoherty1985]

Can "Free" users use agents built by "Paid" users, where those agent talk to enterprise data? And it will still be free? So we could licence X number of people who could be agent makers, and then others without a license use them.

[@bsvavarsson]

Very helpful, thanks!

[@christiansommer8810]

One specific question regarding the Pages function. For a short time at the end of last year, and in previous iterations of what is now called Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat, it was possible to use Copilot directly in Pages, i.e. marking a certain segment and ask for a new version from Copilot (right-click on text or start typing /). This seems to be gone now. You show in your example that you of course can keep your Pages open side by side with Copilot, and copy-paste content back and forth, but I wonder if you have any more info if the feature of having Copilot access directly in the Pages window will come back? Is it even included for users with the full Microsoft 365 Copilot license?

[@maralb12]

Thanks Lisa. Great information. Have you done anything about the relation between the agents in SharePoint and Microsft 365 Copilot Chat?

[@stevecaya]

thank you, I was very confused. This helps.

[@LisaCrosbie]

Great to know, thank you.

[@remojsy]

Great video Lisa thank you! The documentation seems to suggest that copilot chat is available in Teams however I’ve not been able to find it. Do you know if it will be available there or if solely limited to web interface? Thanks 😊

[@jej5957]

I really appreciate your content and consistently return for your AI insights. Do you have a video on best practices for organizing and tagging SharePoint documents/data? It would be incredibly helpful!

[@LisaCrosbie]

Thanks for the support. The SharePoint document tagging isn't really my area, so I may not get to that any time soon. I'd suggest you search for any content on the new "SharePoint Advanced Management" to start with.

[@alel5028]

Hi Lisa, are you sure, that IT can selectivly provide access to the "create Agent" experience in Copilot Chat? I couldn't find the setting in my Tenant in the Admincenter.

[@clarkeyi721]

Hi, I have the same issue. I am assuming it may be because my PAYG model is not setup as yet

@@clarkeyi721 Yes that needs to do first :)

[@craigbrody2550]

Loved your video on differences between free Copilot and paid. Thank you very much. I teach technology apps and appreciate your clarity. Can you share how you had the free and paid Copilots on your system? where you were able to quickly switch back and forth by just clicking the icons on your taskbar - one for the free and one for the paid. thank you for any advice on this

[@LisaCrosbie]

I have a tenant that I use for demos, where I am the admin and I can log in as different users. I have a paid license assigned to one user and not to the other one.

[@craigbrody2550]

@@LisaCrosbie thank you!

[@G.Factor]

At 12:20, you show the comparison chart for Copilot and mentioned that you would provide a link to the Microsoft site, I don't see that link anywhere. Otherwise great explanation.

[@LisaCrosbie]

Ah, good catch, thank you - here it is, and I've added it into the description now. www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2025/01/15/copilot-for-all-introducing-microsoft-365-copilot-chat/

[@brentwat]

Brilliant 🎉

[@gatorhd732]

Is there a chance to deactivate the M365 Copilot Chat and the creation of agents? Thanks in advance

[@ramsyrama]

There are IT controls so yes you can

[@gatorhd732]

@ how? Didn‘t find anything

[@selkertazumi9660]

I dont know ecactly when the name changed occured. However before the name change to M365 copilot, it was Microsoft copilot app with various other apps. It seems I lost 2-3 years of notes. I would like to learn how i can retrieve them. Help anyone😢

[@kamransanaee4196]

Thanks for the video! Seriously, Microsoft is a total mess with all these product names, name changes, and URL switches. 😩 It's like they’re playing a game of “Name That Product” and forgot the rules! Maybe they should let AI take over naming duties. At least it could save us from feeling like we need a degree in Microsoftology just to keep up! 🤔😂

[@LisaCrosbie]

Honestly the URL changes are harder than the product name changes for me. It's all moving so quickly, hopefully some of these things start to settle soon.

[@davejoe75]

Lisa...great video! Just submitted a request to your consulting company and hoping to connect on a few opportunities in Oz abd the US. Hoping you see this 🤞

[@user-hyo124u01]

Microsoft changes product names too much lol

[@LisaCrosbie]

Yeah, it gets hard to keep up with!
