Microsoft Boosts Collaboration in Teams with Copilot Enhancements, Intelliframe, Windows Autopilot and Summer Calling Solution Updates

Microsoft has announced a series of improvements to Copilot for Teams, aimed at enhancing collaboration during meetings, calls, and chat messaging. The company plans to introduce these improvements in phases, with enhancements to meetings scheduled for May, chat messaging for April, and call features for June. These updates will allow users to extract meeting information, adapt message styles, and receive call summaries using Copilot within the Teams platform.

In addition to the improvements in Copilot, Microsoft has also announced the default activation of Intelliframe on Teams Rooms meeting room devices. This feature will provide equal visibility to all meeting participants, regardless of whether they are in the room or connecting remotely. It will also enhance speech recognition capabilities for more accurate transcription and information extraction with Copilot.

Furthermore, Microsoft is streamlining the deployment of meeting room devices by IT teams through Windows Autopilot integration into Teams Rooms. The company has also expanded its BYOD ecosystem with features such as shared viewing mode, smart speaker support, and BYOD IT Management for administrators.

Lastly, Microsoft has announced upcoming enhancements to its Teams Phone calling solution that will enable users to transfer, forward and handle incoming calls from call queues or auto attendants in case of network interruptions starting in the summer. These updates are part of Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to improve collaboration and productivity within the Teams platform.
