Ever wish you could take a brilliant Copilot convo and instantly loop in your team? Now you can.
Microsoft Teams just rolled out a slick new feature: you can start a group chat directly from your Copilot Chat conversation. No more copy-pasting insights or scrambling to recreate context—Copilot does the heavy lifting.
Here’s how it works.
Let’s say you’re chatting with Copilot about a project update. You hit a breakthrough and want to share it with your team. Just click “Start a group chat in Teams” from the Copilot header menu. You’ll get a prompt to:
- Add participants
- Choose how many messages to share (up to 8)
- Hit “Create”—and boom, you’ve got a new Teams group chat with Copilot included.
Once inside the chat, Copilot becomes your shared AI teammate. It can:
- Summarize discussions in real time
- Draft meeting agendas
- Pull insights from files, chat history, or the web (if enabled)
- Create FAQs or project outlines
- Propose next steps based on the conversation
And here’s the cool part: if Copilot’s answer uses data not everyone can access, it sends a private preview to the person who asked. You get to approve before it goes public.
This absolutely makes Copilot in Teams chat finally of value for most users! Excited to use this more in my team conversations.
