What this guide is for

Meetings and email are where Copilot can become immediately useful, but only if you ask for structured outputs and verify what it says. Use Copilot to summarize threads, draft replies, build agendas, and turn meeting content into owners and deadlines. Then check the source thread, transcript, notes, and permissions before sending anything.

Availability context: Copilot in Teams meetings, recaps, and Outlook features vary by license, meeting type, transcription or recording availability, organizer settings, tenant settings, app version, and rollout status. Microsoft notes that some recap experiences do not apply to every meeting type and that meeting assets keep their own access controls.

How this fits into the Microsoft Copilot hub: This Teams and Outlook page supports the course hub by turning daily communication into clean follow-up. Use the prompt library for more meeting and email prompts, the business guide for adoption planning, and the Excel tutorial when action items need a tracker or report.
