Differences and Similarities between Microsoft Teams Premium and Copilot for Microsoft 365
Intelligent Recap:
Both solutions share an advanced feature that enhances collaboration and efficiency: Intelligent Recap. This provides intelligent summaries to help users extract the most relevant information from meetings. Meeting summaries obtained are of higher quality with Microsoft Teams Premium.
Additionally, Teams Premium allows real-time translation of subtitles and meeting transcripts. On the other hand, Copilot not only captures notes and generates meeting summaries but also allows interaction with the information through a chat both in real-time and after the meeting.
This lets you ask questions like “summarize the meeting up to this point” or “what questions should I be asking about a specific topic?” This functionality is limited to a maximum of 30 days to retrieve and process data and perform queries, and meetings that exceed 2 hours result in increased latency in response.
An example of a task you can request from Copilot is to summarize the previous meeting and draft an email to send to colleagues.
