Microsoft is enhancing Teams with a host of more artificial intelligence-enabled capabilities. The company’s Copilot AI assistant is set to make its way to even more areas within the Teams app, and these new integrations are bound to make your meetings smarter and more convenient.

Three significant Copilot features are coming to Microsoft Teams for your calls, chats, and call recaps. With the first, Copilot will be able to glean insights from your meeting chat and meeting transcript, giving you a clearer picture of what transpired, whether it was spoken aloud or written in the chat.

Copilot will also make its appearance in the Teams chat compose box, and just like what’s already available in Microsoft Edge, it will have the capability to rewrite a message using your own customized prompt. Microsoft believes this feature can save time as you won’t have to spend time pondering where to start.

Finally, a Copilot feature is on its way for VoIP and PSTN callers in Teams. Although it won’t be available until the next quarter, Copilot will be able to offer AI-powered insights into these calls. Once again, this is another feature designed to help you be more productive and save time during your calls.

For those using Teams Rooms, there are some additional enhancements coming. Microsoft will enable IntelliFrame by default on Teams Rooms devices. This feature utilizes Cloud AI to assist in capturing the individual video feeds of each in-room participant. Automatic camera switching will also become available later this year, along with speaker recognition capabilities for any existing microphone, to enhance the transcript accuracy for Teams Rooms on Windows environments.

You can find out more about how to get started with these features on Microsoft’s Copilot for Work website. Microsoft’s research indicates that Copilot can help people be up to 70% more productive, so it’s not at all surprising to see the company enhance Teams with more Copilot-related features.

AI is a big deal for Microsoft, as even outside of Teams, rumors suggest the company could add more AI-powered features to Windows as well. This includes things like “AI Explorer,” which can better contextualize the actions you take on your screen, and even AI features to improve gaming quality.

As of now, Copilot in Teams is only available for Copilot for Microsoft 365, which is only for organizations – as opposed to Copilot Pro, which is for individuals.
