explanation for non-techies**

Imagine you're at a large conference center with multiple rooms, each hosting different meetings. After attending a meeting, you receive a summary of what was discussed, regardless of which room it was in. This is similar to what Microsoft is implementing with its new feature for Copilot users in multi-tenant organizations.

In the world of business-to-business operations, companies often work together while maintaining separate IT environments, much like how different conference rooms belong to the same center but host different groups. Microsoft is now enabling users in these multi-tenant setups to access intelligent meeting recaps from the "room" or resource tenant where the meeting was held. This means that after a meeting, users will automatically receive a summary, without needing to take any additional steps.

This change is set to roll out in November 2025, and there's no need for administrators or users to do anything to prepare. The feature will be available to all Copilot users configured in these multi-tenant environments. It's like getting a conference room upgrade where the technology now automatically provides you with notes from the meeting, ensuring you have all the important details without lifting a finger.

For those interested in the technical details or wanting to explore further, Microsoft provides resources online that explain how these multi-tenant collaborations work. However, for most users, it's as simple as enjoying the convenience of having a meeting recap ready for them, enhancing productivity and ensuring nothing important is missed.
