MC1053653 - Teams Meetings Copilot response can be shared to external apps (Word or Excel)

Microsoft 365 Copilot responses in Microsoft Teams meetings can be shared to external apps (Word or Excel). Responses generated by Copilot in Meetings will come with a button to Open in another app. Although this will start with Word and Excel, more apps will be added in the future.

The Open in button will show up when:

• A response has more than the set number of characters (1,300), which will make it long enough to warrant editing in a document. Shorter responses can always be copied/pasted anywhere outside of Teams, as long as the meeting policy allows.
• A response has a table, which will allow it to be exported to Excel if the meeting policy allows.
• Responses will only be able to be exported if the meeting policy allows copying or exporting of Copilot responses and will respect the sensitivity label of the meeting (sensitivity labels are available to Teams Premium customers).

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 481352.
