What's New in Microsoft 365 and Copilot? A Super Simple 365 Podcast.

Monthly Microsoft 365, Teams and Copilot updates for end users, trainers and anyone who needs to keep up with changes affecting end users. These hand-picked highlights are mainly from the admin centre, Microsoft 365 Roadmap (I call these ‘ones to watch’) and Microsoft blogs… thank you to the Microsoft product teams for the information, updates and images they share. I aim to deliver my versions in plain English, in a simplified format and with end-users in mind.
