New Microsoft Teams M365 Copilot Facilitator Agent

Microsoft Teams has introduced a new Facilitator Agent designed to enhance meeting focus and productivity. The Facilitator offers several key features:

  • Tracks discussion topics and timing using visual timeline markers to help ensure conversations remain on schedule.
  • Enables collaborative, real-time note-taking.
  • Provides answers to questions by leveraging information from the meeting and online sources.
  • Monitors tasks and assignments throughout the meeting.
  • Instantly drafts documents in Word or Loop to support meeting content.
  • Delivers improved experiences for chat, notes, and meeting timers when using Teams Room.
  • Records ad-hoc discussions to ensure no valuable insights are overlooked.

I have observed the Facilitator Agent in meetings and found the topic and time tracker, integrated with the meeting agenda, particularly effective in helping participants address each subject promptly.

Please note that access to these functionalities requires an M365 Copilot license.
