Things You Did Not Know: Let Copilot Peek Into Your Calendar!

When your inbox is overflowing with requests and your calendar is packed with appointments, responding quickly and efficiently can be a challenge. Especially when dealing with different time zones or constantly checking your availability. Luckily, Copilot Chat (Work) provides a solution.

How Copilot Works with Your Calendar

You may not know this, but Copilot can help answer emails by checking your calendar and instantly providing an overview of your availability. This means less switching between your inbox and calendar and more time for what really matters.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Copilot in Outlook only uses the email you are replying to as a source and does not have direct access to your calendar.

•  Copilot Chat (Work), on the other hand, can view your calendar and help you share your availability effortlessly in your emails.

Smart Prompts for Copilot Chat (Work)

For a specific overview of scheduled sessions:
