Introduction
Find meetings and everything connected to them in seconds with Calendar Search in Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature makes it effortless to locate any meeting, even if you only remember a few details. Just type what comes to mind, like "last week's design review," "budget sync with marketing," or "next quarterly planning session," and Copilot instantly finds the right event.
Copilot doesn't just show you the meeting invite. It brings together the full context: who attended, what was discussed, what files were shared, and what follow-ups were assigned. Whether you're preparing for an upcoming meeting or trying to recall what was decided in a past one, Copilot gives you a complete, connected view-all from a single search bar.
