Copilot and Teams Meetings

I created an opportunity to test using Copilot for a meeting summary.

Those of us who’ve done testing with Microsoft Teams meetings are most often challenged to make up a meeting with some specific text in the meeting transcript to track down the recording, transcripts, notes, etc., later.

This usually works well enough, but it’s not an actual business meeting, so there is always the chance that our testing is lacking to some small degree. While investigating Copilot, I realized that the “faux meeting” testing would be significantly lacking.

How would I be able to measure the accuracy of a Copilot summary if there wasn’t a conversation between multiple users?

Luckily, I have temporary access to Copilot for M365 at work, so I purposely scheduled a Teams meeting and recorded it regarding some work projects.

It was a real, honest-to-goodness meeting, and I would see how accurate the AI summary was. (Hint: it wasn’t bad.)
