We’ve updated the default settings for Copilot in Teams meetings following feedback on a previous change.
Previously, Copilot was switched off by default for meetings. However, we’ve heard that this caused difficulties for some users. As a result, Copilot will now be enabled by default during and after meetings. If you prefer not to use Copilot, you’ll need to manually turn it off in the meeting settings.
You might choose to disable Copilot when discussing sensitive topics where you don’t want notes to be taken. If you need a recording and/or AI notes, please use Copilot because it encrypts your data and keeps it within the University's Microsoft tenant where it can't be used to train AI models.

Note-taking bots
It's important to check for note-taking bots joining your meetings. Bots can record meetings, take screenshots and make notes. Do not admit people from the lobby that you do not recognise and check for bots. If you suspect a bot has joined, please ask the meeting organiser to remove it.
