Copilot makes it fast and easy to schedule a meeting from an email thread.

When you use the Schedule with Copilotoption, Copilot analyzes the email and creates a meeting invitation for you, filling in a meeting title and agenda, and adding the email thread as an attachment. The people on the email thread are included as meeting attendees, and you can quickly review the invitation, add or change info, and then send it out.

Note: This feature is only available if you have a Microsoft 365 Copilot (Work) license.

Create a meeting invitation from your email with Copilot

  1. Open an email conversation in Outlook.

  2. In the toolbar, select Schedule with Copilot. ​​​​​​​ Shows Outlook toolbar with "Schedule with Copilot" button highlighted.

    Note: The toolbar may look slightly different, depending on your settings.

  3. Select Insert to accept the content Copilot has suggested (you can edit it in the next step, if needed).

  4. Review the meeting invitation, make any changes you want to make, and when you're ready, select Send.

Tip: Another way to access the feature is to navigate to the top right, then select Other actions (...) > Other reply actions > Schedule with Copilot.

What if I don't see any content in the agenda?

If the email discussion doesn't include much info about future actions, Copilot doesn't include an agenda in the meeting invitation. It also doesn't include content from discussions that are classified as confidential—or which contain potentially harmful or offensive content.

In these cases, the draft has the original title of the email, but it doesn't include any generated content.

Can I customize this feature?

Yes, you can add another way to access Schedule with Copilot. If you want to select the calendar icon at the top of each mail thread, you can use customized actions and select Schedule with Copilot.
