Many of us attend too many meetings. But the process of organizing them is often harder than it needs to be because you are not fully using the tools available to you in Microsoft 365 to help with that task. In this video we review the four main tools that can help you schedule meetings in an easier and more productive way. First we look at Scheduling Assistant in Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams. Then we look at Scheduling Poll in Microsoft Outlook. Then Personal Bookings Pages and Shared Bookings Pages in Microsoft Bookings. Last, we look at some of the future features that Copilot might bring to help us with this process too.

We can now sync our responses in Forms in Excel, we can use Copilot to create forms (if you are licensed for Copilot for Microsoft 365/Microsoft 365 Copilot), and Microsoft seems to have created its own competitor to Forms, a new experience in Microsoft Lists that allows you to create forms for data capture.

Whether you're a Copilot Pro subscriber, ChatGPT Plus subscriber, or you're licensed for Microsoft 365 Copilot, this information may be valuable to you!

In March 2023, Microsoft dropped word of its plans for AI domination of the business productivity market with Microsoft 365 Copilot. This showed a new interface for business productivity, getting things done in Microsoft 365, whether it be Word, Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote or Loop, with natural language instead of mouse clicks.

Now, one year on from that initial announcement, and with Copilot for Microsoft 365 accessible to all users, did Microsoft deliver on what it showed us? What aspects of this product are great, which are okay, and which need improvement? This is Copilot's freshman Report Card.
