Hands-On Microsoft 365 Pulse – Weekly Updates (Week 48)
This past week was one of the calmest of the year—probably because the holiday season is kicking off. Still, there are relevant updates you should know about, and I picked two to bring to your attention from last week.
Forget the calendar gymnastics. Just tell Copilot who you want to meet with and when, and it will check everyone’s availability, propose time slots, and make scheduling painless. No more time‑zone headaches or digging through ten calendars for one slot. This is a game‑changer for me.

Automate the repetitive asks you make every day. With scheduled prompts, you can set up agents like “help me prepare my day” to run at 7:00 AM so you get your plan while sipping your coffee. It’s simple, smart, and keeps routine tasks off your plate.
This December, Microsoft is deprecating the third-party API for Microsoft Teams. If you use a Logi MX Creative Console or an Elgato Stream Deck with Teams, this change will definitely impact you. To help you stay productive, I’ve written detailed guides that explain how to configure your devices moving forward so you can continue using them seamlessly with Microsoft Teams.
And while we’re talking updates, this week is ESPC, the biggest Microsoft 365 conference in Europe. It’s happening right now, and I’ll be keeping an eye on all the announcements. Next week, I’ll bring you anything noteworthy so you don’t miss a thing. If you’re not attending, make sure you subscribe to this post so you get the updates as soon as I publish them.
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!
