Details:
As part of our ongoing efforts to streamline and enhance user experiences, we are updating the Recommended section on the Home tab of the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. All users will now see more relevant content in the Recommended section. Microsoft 365 Copilot-licensed users will also see Copilot prompt suggestions associated with the content in the Recommended carousel. They will be able to select any of the suggested Copilot prompts to learn more about the content without having to open it.
As we roll out these changes, users will not be able to use the 'Remove from List' capability for Meeting recordings and Upcoming meetings content in the Recommended section. This capability will continue to work for other content such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.
This change will affect the Web and Windows endpoints of the Microsoft 365 Copilot App.
[When this will happen:]
This change will be available in late April 2025
