M365 Copilot Chat now available in Office Apps

There was an important announcement this week.  M365 Copilot Chat is now available in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote for all users without additional licensing.

Some important notes:

• This is for web-grounded chat only.
• This is the same Copilot Chat experience that all users have access to via a browser.
• If you want M365 Copilot Chat to return data from the M365 Graph with data from Teams, Exchange, SharePoint and OneDrive, you must have a M365 Copilot add-on license for the user.
