What's New in Microsoft 365 and Copilot? A Super Simple 365 Podcast.

It’s time for our end-user focused catch up of updates for the fortnight 5th – 19th June 2021 across Microsoft 365.

Who’s looking forwards to Windows 11? I can’t wait to see if it’s a proper new operating system or just ‘a glorified theme pack’. I’ll be following Mary Jo Foley’s blog to keep up.

Onto the updates, we have a handful of revised timelines, a few full updates, seven bite sized updates and a STACK of genuinely useful ‘ones to watch’...they’re probably the highlight this week.

Just a reminder to set the scene; these updates look at topics of interest to end users and anyone supporting them such as trainers, team/site owners and super users. Feel free to share this update with your colleagues at work.

• Revised timelines
• Microsoft Lists | @mention in comments
• Chat bubbles in Teams meetings
• Search for a meeting recording based on what was said
• Teams attendance reporting dashboard
• Ones to watch
• Keep up with 365
