Hands-On Microsoft 365 Pulse – Weekly Updates (Week 42)
This week’s update is landing a day later than usual — and for a good reason! I took a short break to run the half marathon in Rome. It was an incredible experience, and honestly, disconnecting from tech for a few days felt amazing. Running through the streets of Rome was surreal, and now I’m back, fully recharged and ready to dive into what’s new in Microsoft 365.
Let’s jump into the highlights! First up, Microsoft Teams is rolling out the ability to record meetings with audio only. This is a great move for those who prefer a more lightweight recording option. Second, GPT-5 will be the default model powering Copilot, which means smarter, faster, and more context-aware responses across Microsoft 365 apps. To me these two updates are definitely the stars of the week.
As always, there’s a bunch more to explore — check out the full list below. Let me know in the comments what your favorite update was this week, or what you’re hoping to see next. I’m curious to hear what caught your eye!
