Use Copilot plugins in Microsoft Teams meetings

Use Microsoft 365 Copilot plugins for more accurate Copilot responses in meeting chats. Copilot plugins help you prompt Copilot about more complex tasks using natural language and are enabled by your organization. After you turn on plugins, use plugin-specific prompts to get the most out of your experience.

Once you turn them on, you can start using them with Copilot. 

Prompt Copilot to use plugins

To receive a Copilot response powered by a plugin you’ve turned on, mention the plugin’s name in your prompt.  

For example, if you want to use the Contoso plugin to see updated designs, send a prompt that says, “Show me the latest designs from Contoso.”
