Work Smarter: Copilot Productivity Tips

Social media is a powerful tool for businesses of all sizes, but especially so for small and medium-sized businesses that rely on it as a means to reach new customers and drive sales. But Marketers are always pressed for time, and juggling strategy and content creation can be overwhelming and time-consuming. How do you create engaging content, reach your target audience, and measure your results? How do you balance your social media presence with your other tasks and priorities? Today, I'll show you how I used #Copilot to help me generate and execute ideas for social media marketing, how you can too.

Microsoft Bookings - scheduling automation in Microsoft 365

Office 365 offers a long list of available applications. One of the less known app is Microsoft Bookings

I prepared a tutorial for Microsoft 365 users about using Microsoft #Bookings. This is the perfect solution for freelancers and small businesses but you can also use it in the bigger organizations by limiting it only to Microsoft 365 users. Bookings app is fully integrated with calendars in Outlook and can be shared by team members.

It is not a perfect solution, but being part of Office 365 subscriptions is included in subscription costs. You don't have to buy additional licenses.

Enterprise Data Protection for free Microsoft Copilot

Next month, we are making several updates to the free Microsoft #Copilot service for users with a Microsoft #Entra account to enhance data security, privacy, and compliance and simplify the user experience. For users signed in with an Entra account, Microsoft Copilot will offer enterprise data protection (EDP) and redirect users to a new simplified, ad-free user interface designed for work and education.

Manage Copilot Studio messages billing

A message is an interaction between a customer and a copilot, representing one unit of consumption. A message is defined as any request or message sent to the copilot that triggers an action or a response from the copilot.

The purchase of a Microsoft #CopilotStudio license includes a specific number of billed messages capacity. This capacity is pooled across the entire tenant but it must be assigned to an environment in to enable Microsoft #Copilot Studio features for copilots in the environment.
