Seamless integration with Microsoft Teams allows users to schedule and join Teams meetings directly from Outlook. This integration streamlines communication and collaboration between team members.
Outlook's search functionality has been improved for faster and more accurate results. Users can now easily find emails, contacts, and other items with advanced filters and suggestions.

6 个月I think there are many who will need this, especially as many still don't know how to create even a simple formula in Excel, yet use Word or PPT effectively ??. Even for those who can (e.g. me), I have not found Copilot (MS365 version) do anything of consquential use yet. It can create content from scratch, sure, and redraft content but not much more. Of course, there is always the challenge of having it configured correctly: no matter how many times I log into my own MS account on the MS365 apps, I regularly come back to find that Windows/MS365 has changed the associated profile to another of the MS365 accounts (e.g. previous clients' profiles that I have deleted so many times).
