Microsoft Teams admin center: Improvements to controls for Microsoft 365 Copilot [MC1055552]

Message ID: MC1055552

Coming soon: Improvements to the controls for Microsoft 365 Copilot and transcripts in the Microsoft Teams admin center (TAC). This rollout aims to reduce complexity and prevent conflicting states for those controls, to help provide a smoother experience for admins and users. This rollout will help prevent issues such as Copilot requiring a transcript when Transcript is Off, resulting in error messages for users that cannot be resolved.

The feature described in this message is available to all admins in the TAC, but error messages only occur for Teams users who also have a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We began rolling out early April 2025 and expect to complete by late May 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

What is changing?

Before this rollout, when an admin selects an invalid combination in the TAC, such as Copilot requiring a transcript when Transcript is Off, meeting users with a Copilot license experience an error message in the Copilot right pane that they can’t recover from, because the transcript is not available for them. This rollout fixes the issue by disabling Copilot options related to transcripts when Transcript is disabled in TAC.

After this rollout, when Transcript is Off in the TAC, the only available Copilot options in the TAC will be On or Off:

This rollout also applies to changes made through Microsoft PowerShell.

Any preexisting policies you have configured will not be affected by this rollout. However, only valid values will be available if admins try to edit their Copilot settings.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified dates with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation.

We encourage all tenant admins to review their current settings and make necessary adjustments to align with valid values. Our support team is ready to assist with any questions or concerns.

    The upcoming improvements to the Microsoft 365 Copilot controls in the Teams admin center (TAC) are set to create quite a buzz among both admins and users. With a rollout expected to commence in early April 2025 and wrap up by late May 2025, let’s dive into how these changes will impact our daily interactions with Teams.

    For admins, the new features promise to reduce complexity significantly. Gone are the days of scratching your head over conflicting settings, such as when Copilot demands a transcript that’s turned off. This enhancement ensures that only valid options are available in the TAC, making it much easier to manage settings without the fear of error messages popping up at the worst possible moment. It’s like finally getting that one puzzle piece to fit perfectly – satisfying and efficient!

    Users will also feel the positive effects of these changes. By preventing those pesky error messages when attempting to use Copilot without a transcript, their experience will be smoother and more intuitive. No more confusion or frustration when trying to leverage Copilot’s capabilities during meetings. It’s all about making collaboration more seamless, and who doesn’t appreciate a little less hassle in their workday?

    Overall, the impact of these updates is likely to be quite significant. A smoother experience for both admins and users means more productive meetings, fewer technical hiccups, and a generally more positive atmosphere in the digital workspace. And let’s be honest, anything that helps us avoid those awkward moments of tech failure deserves a round of applause!

    I encourage everyone to share their thoughts on these changes. How do you think they will impact your workflow? Have you experienced any challenges with Copilot or the TAC in the past? Your insights could help shape how we all adapt to these improvements!
