Prompt Like a Pro: Effectively summarize your channel conversations with Microsoft Copilot in Teams

Microsoft Teams channels offer a centralized platform for information sharing, but keeping up with fast-paced conversations can be challenging. To address this, Microsoft Copilot in Teams provides a convenient solution. Copilot offers channel highlights, where users can ask about recent updates in a specific channel. It provides concise summaries, including the time of the latest update, participants involved, and documents shared. Follow-up prompts from Copilot enable users to delve deeper into specific updates, such as key points in shared documents. Copilot leverages Microsoft Graph to provide relevant documents within its summaries, allowing users to access them directly from the chat conversation. By using the "What's new in [channel] of [team]?" prompt, users can stay informed about all their channels from one location. Copilot simplifies the process of catching up on channel updates, making it easier to stay organized and efficient. Additional resources are available at Copilot Lab for more prompts and optimization tips. Copilot in Teams is constantly being improved based on user feedback. Users can provide feedback by using the thumbs-down button after a response if a prompt does not perform as expected. Copilot's answers are grounded in work content and context stored in Microsoft Graph.
