To get Copilot for Microsoft 365 to work with desktop applications you need to follow this process:
Adding Copilot button to desktop applications
To get the most from Copilot for Microsoft 365 you need to use the ‘new’ Outlook. However, there is currently the ability to use some of the Copilot features in the ‘classic’ desktop version of Outlook.
When you open an email in the older desktop version of Outlook you will find a Summarize button in the upper right as shown above (provided you have a Copilot for Microsoft 365 license of course).
If you select that, Copilot will go away and munch on the information in the email for a moment.
Then, you’ll then get a nice summary at the top of the email as shown above.
As I understand it, more Copilot for Microsoft 365 will be coming to the ‘classic’ version of Outlook and I’ll let you know when they start appearing for me. However for now, if you do have Copilot for Microsoft 365 and prefer the older version of Outlook on the desktop put it work doing email summaries.
