We are making several important updates to how your entire organization can experience Microsoft Copilot, our existing ad-free, AI-powered chat service grounded in the web and secured with enterprise data protection. Starting in mid-January, we will roll out the following changes:
We are making name changes to simplify the user experience. Microsoft Copilot for Entra account users will be renamed Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat. Additionally, the Microsoft 365 app will be named Microsoft 365 Copilot, and its icon will be updated as announced during the November 2024 Ignite conference.
The new Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat will allow end users to discover, create, and use agents.
The new Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat will be accessible within the new Microsoft 365 Copilot app, with options for admins and end users to control access.
[When will this happen:]
These changes will begin rolling out in mid-January 2025.
