Microsoft 365 Insider Round-Up: February 2025

Hey there, Microsoft 365 Insiders! February might be short on days, but we’re making up for it with some seriously useful updates. Whether you’re crunching numbers, fixing email mishaps, or scrambling to plan a Valentine’s Day that doesn’t disappoint, we’ve got you covered. ??

First up, Excel just got even sharper with Copilot and Python, meaning your spreadsheets can now do more thinking so you don’t have to. Over in Outlook for Mac, email recall is finally here—because we’ve all sent something we immediately regretted. And if you’re still figuring out how to impress your Valentine, Copilot is standing by with dinner ideas, heartfelt messages, and maybe even a little AI-generated poetry (no guarantees on quality, though).

On the creative side, Microsoft Designer in Photos is here to keep your ideas flowing, and Clipchamp has new tools to make video editing less of a headache. So, whether you’re working, creating, or just trying to make it through winter, Microsoft 365 is here to help. Let’s make February count! ????
