Find meetings—and everything connected to them, in seconds. Copilot Search makes it effortless to locate any meeting, even if you only remember a few details. Just type what comes to mind—like “last week’s design review”, “budget sync with marketing”, or “next quarterly planning session”—and Copilot instantly finds the right event. Copilot doesn’t just show you the meeting invite. It brings together the full context: who attended, what was discussed, what files were shared, and what follow-ups were assigned. Whether you're preparing for an upcoming meeting or trying to recall what was decided in a past one, Copilot gives you a complete, connected view—all from a single search bar.

Imagine you have a personal assistant who can remember every detail of your meetings. This assistant not only recalls when and where the meeting took place but also who was there, what topics were discussed, and what tasks were assigned afterward. Microsoft Copilot in Microsoft 365 acts like this digital assistant for your calendar.

Think of it like searching for a book in a library. In the past, you might have had to remember the exact title or author to find the book you wanted. But with Copilot, it's like having a librarian who knows exactly what you're looking for, even if you only remember a few words from the title or a snippet of the plot. You can type in something as vague as "last week's design review" or "budget sync with marketing," and Copilot will quickly locate the meeting you're thinking of.

Once it finds the meeting, Copilot doesn't just hand you the meeting invite. It provides a comprehensive view of everything related to that meeting. It's like opening a file that contains not just the meeting notes but also a list of attendees, shared documents, and any follow-up actions that were agreed upon. This feature is particularly useful when you're preparing for an upcoming meeting or need to refresh your memory about decisions made in a previous one.

This tool is available across different platforms, whether you're using a desktop or accessing it via the web. It's designed to be intuitive and seamless, making it easier for you to manage your time and responsibilities effectively. With Microsoft Copilot, you can spend less time searching for information and more time focusing on what matters most.
