Copilot can help users engage with their content in a new and dynamic way-through audio. This new feature will enable Copilot to turn documents, meetings, and files into an audio overview, creating a listening experience that's easy to follow. Users can ask Copilot to generate an audio overview in the Copilot chat pane, and Copilot will bring the content to life through a podcast-style discussion between two hosts who offer insightful commentary, draw connections between topics, and even exchange lively banter about the key points of their content. Soon, Copilot will also allow users to choose how they want to listen: select one or two speakers, adjust the style from concise to playful, and tailor the length to short, medium, or long. This capability is integrated directly into the tools users are familiar with-OneDrive, Teams, Word, and Copilot Notebooks-so it's ready whenever and wherever they are.

| 2025-05-22 | MC Messages | Copilot can help users engage with their content in a new and dynamic way-through audio. This new feature will enable Copilot to turn documents, meetings, and files into an audio overview, creating a listening experience that's easy to follow.

This capability is integrated directly into the tools users are familiar with-OneDrive, Outlook, Teams, Word, and Copilot Notebooks-so it's ready whenever and wherever they are.
