This enhancement helps reduce context switching and supports a more efficient workflow.

Impact on your organization:
Users will be able to reopen their recent SharePoint agents stored as .agent files on SharePoint sites. Admins can disable an agent by deleting its corresponding file.

Microsoft is introducing a new feature that brings interactive agents into Teams meetings and 1-on-1 calls. Users will be able to engage with agents privately or as a group, with support for zero-state prompts and session history to enable more seamless and contextual interactions.

Key changes:

• All agents from Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat and Copilot Studio will be available in meetings and calls
• Users can interact using @mentions or the + button in the chat compose box
• Declarative agents require a Microsoft 365 Copilot or Microsoft 365 license

This feature will be on by default—no admin action needed.

Microsoft is adding a new entry point for Copilot Chat in Teams to improve navigation for users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license.

Currently, if Global Admins have pinned Copilot Chat via the Microsoft 365 admin center, users see it in the Teams app bar. Starting June 30, a new “Copilot” shortcut will appear at the top of the Teams chat list, just above "Discover", offering easier access to Copilot Chat in a more contextual location.

Rollout timeline:

• Public Preview: June 23 – June 26, 2025
• General Availability (Worldwide): June 30 – July 7, 2025

Microsoft is introducing ContextIQ in Copilot Chat—a new intelligent assistance layer that helps users ground their prompts in real-time, relevant work context.

With ContextIQ, users can:

• Access people, files, meetings, and more as they type
• Use a forward slash ( / ) or select “Add content” in the prompt box to open a dynamic menu
• Attach data sources directly to prompts for more precise and actionable responses

Additionally, ContextIQ will support Microsoft Graph Connectors, allowing Copilot to pull data from third-party platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, and others—making external information usable within Microsoft 365.

Rollout timeline:

• Begins July 2025

Microsoft is expanding ContextIQ in Copilot Chat to help users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license easily find and work with files.

With this update, users can:

• Type “/” in the prompt box to search for accessible files
• Search OneDrive or upload files directly from the ContextIQ interface
• Avoid manual file uploads by selecting relevant content already available to them

This makes it easier to ground prompts in context without needing a Copilot license.

SharePoint sites and OneDrive folders in ContextIQ: Users can reference SharePoint and OneDrive folders directly within prompts in Copilot Chat work mode. This makes it easier to reference shared content and ensure Copilot has the right context to generate meaningful responses. This feature rolled out in June.

Meeting series selection in the ContextIQ menu: Users can select an entire meeting series and related instances when they want to ground a prompt in recurring discussions—like weekly team syncs or project standups. This will ensure Copilot understands the full context of their meetings. This feature rolled out in June.

Enhanced file search with filters and refiners: The Files tab in the ContextIQ menu now includes file type filters and people refiners. Users can narrow their search by document type or collaborator, helping them find the right file faster and with greater precision. This feature rolled out in June.

Work context suggestions as you type: When users begin typing in the Copilot Chat prompt box, ContextIQ will suggest relevant prompts and work context, such as recent files, meetings, or collaborators. This proactive guidance helps users discover useful context they might not have thought to include, streamlining workflow and boosting productivity. This feature rolled out in June.

Microsoft is enhancing the Copilot mobile app on iOS by introducing voice-based interaction with Copilot Chat. Users can now speak naturally and receive real-time responses, making hands-free productivity easier than ever.

This update supports users who:

• Prefer speech input over typing
• Have limited mobility or specific accessibility needs
• Want a more conversational and intuitive way to engage with Copilot

Whether it's brainstorming, navigating documents, or getting assistance, this feature offers a more flexible and inclusive way to stay productive.

Microsoft Edge now lets users submit queries to Microsoft 365 Copilot directly from the address bar, streamlining how users access support and guidance.

Instead of navigating through search results, users can type questions like “How to create a pivot table in Excel?” and get a detailed response from Copilot instantly—right from the browser.

This update improves efficiency by integrating intelligent help into everyday browsing.

Microsoft Edge users can now use Copilot Chat summarization directly from the right-click context menu. By selecting "Summarize with Copilot", users can quickly condense long articles, reports, or web pages into concise summaries.

Using AI to generate images and other visuals has been a popular and promising area. Images generated in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat are now more photo realistic and have better text spelling accuracy. In addition, Copilot Chat can now support multi-turn interactions involving image uploads, enabling users to engage in more complex and detailed queries. This feature rolled out in June.

Microsoft is rolling out Copilot Memory, a new feature that helps personalize interactions by remembering important details about each user—such as preferences, writing style, and frequently discussed topics.

Copilot Memory allows users to:

• Capture insights like “I prefer Python for data science”
• Set Custom Instructions for tone, formatting, or response style
• Avoid repeating information across interactions
• Accelerate task completion with more relevant and efficient responses

Users can explore memory by prompting:

• “Ask me 5 questions to learn more about my writing style”
• “Ask me 10 questions about myself to get to know me better”

Users remain fully in control:

• View, edit, or delete stored memories at any time
• Memory can be disabled entirely
• A “memory updated” notification appears when new details are stored

Memory is on by default, and tenant-level controls are available for admins.
