Copilot now makes it easier to schedule meetings directly from email conversations. With the new Schedule with Copilot option, Copilot analyzes the email thread and automatically creates a meeting invitation-pre-filling the title, agenda, and attaching the email thread. Attendees from the email are added to the invite, and you can quickly review, edit, and send.

explanation for non-techies**
Imagine you're planning a dinner party. You have a group chat with your friends where you discuss the details like the date, time, and menu. Now, instead of manually sending out invitations with all these details, imagine having a personal assistant who listens to your conversation and automatically sends out a formal invitation to everyone in the chat, including all the discussed details. This is similar to what the new Copilot feature in Outlook does for scheduling meetings.
With the "Schedule with Copilot" option, when you're in an email thread discussing a potential meeting, Copilot acts like that personal assistant. It reads through the conversation, picks up on the details like the meeting's purpose, and who should attend, and then creates a meeting invitation for you. It even includes the email thread as an attachment, so everyone has the context. This way, you save time and ensure that nothing important is left out.
This feature will be available globally between July and August 2025, and you won't need to do anything special to get it. It will appear automatically in your Outlook. However, it might be helpful to let your team know about this new capability and update any guides or instructions you have for scheduling meetings to include this new, streamlined process. This way, everyone can take advantage of this time-saving tool as soon as it's available.
