Imagine you're managing a team and you've always tracked how much time your team spends in meetings. Previously, you had a simple way to measure this, like using a stopwatch to track how long each meeting lasted. This was known as "Copilot Assisted Hours." However, this method didn't give you the full picture of what happened during those meetings or how productive they were.

Now, think of the new system as upgrading from a stopwatch to a smart assistant that not only tracks the time but also takes notes and summarizes the key points of each meeting. This is what the updated Copilot Dashboard is doing with its new "summarized or recapped" metrics. It provides a more comprehensive view of meeting activities by including summaries and recaps, not just the time spent.

This change is like switching from just counting the number of books in a library to also knowing the contents of each book. It helps leaders and managers get a better understanding of how meetings are being used across their organization. This way, they can see not just how much time is spent in meetings, but also what was achieved during those meetings.

The updated metrics are available in the Copilot Dashboard and the M365 Copilot Impact report, which means you can see these insights in different places and even customize them to fit your needs. It's like having a dashboard in your car that not only shows you how far you've driven but also gives you insights into your driving habits and efficiency.

These changes are being rolled out gradually, starting with a preview phase and then becoming generally available worldwide. The goal is to provide a clearer picture of meeting productivity and usage, helping organizations make more informed decisions.
