Teams Meetings Copilot response can be shared to external apps (Word or Excel) MC1053653 Published Apr 11, 2025

Microsoft 365 Copilot responses in Microsoft Teams meetings can be shared to external apps (Word or Excel). Responses generated by Copilot in Meetings will come with a button to Open in another app. Although this will start with Word and Excel, more apps will be added in the future.

The Open in button will show up when:

  • A response has more than the set number of characters (1,300), which will make it long enough to warrant editing in a document. Shorter responses can always be copied/pasted anywhere outside of Teams, as long as the meeting policy allows.
  • A response has a table, which will allow it to be exported to Excel if the meeting policy allows.
  • Responses will only be able to be exported if the meeting policy allows copying or exporting of Copilot responses and will respect the sensitivity label of the meeting (sensitivity labels are available to Teams Premium customers).

Microsoft Teams: Teams button support on multiple connected peripheral devices MC1052163 Published Apr 10, 2025

You can now use the Teams button across personal peripheral devices without having to manually select a specific device in the Teams devices settings. This provides a more seamless experience navigating across multiple certified for Microsoft Teams personal peripheral USB devices (with a wire or a dongle) connected to the same host device (such as your laptop). For example, you can use the Teams button on headset A to bring up the meeting pre-join screen, then use the Teams button on headset B to join the meeting, and then use the Teams button on your connected speakerphone to raise hand in the meeting, and so on.

Microsoft Teams Premium: New Speaker Attribution setting for BYOD in CsTeamsAIPolicy (enabled ON by default) MC1052162 Published Apr 10, 2025

NOTE: If you are a Microsoft Teams customer (not a Microsoft Teams Premium customer), we are sending this message to you because this new setting will take effect automatically for any user assigned a Microsoft Teams Premium or Microsoft 365 Copilot license, even if your organization previously didn't have these licenses. Therefore, we recommend all organizations review this message, regardless of your organization's current license status.

Coming soon: We will add a new Microsoft PowerShell policy setting called SpeakerAttributionBYOD to csTeamsAIPolicy for Microsoft Teams Premium users. This setting gives IT admins more control over speaker attribution in BYOD (bring your own device) scenarios. NOTE: This setting will be enabled by default when the feature rolls out.

This setting allows organizations to manage how speaker attribution is used in meetings where users join via personal devices, helping enhance the in-meeting and post-meeting experience with features like speaker labels (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.) and Microsoft 365 Copilot in shared spaces (meetings, chat). To access Copilot features, a Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required.

This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop and Teams for Mac desktop.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 488301.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will begin rolling out early June 2025 and expect to complete by mid-June 2025.

Potential connection failures with the Call Quality Power BI connector.
