Copilot for Microsoft 365 expands AGAIN


Much like a modern Augustus Gloop or Marjorie Dursley, Copilot for Microsoft 365 keeps expanding!

On June 12th, Microsoft added several more eligible base licenses for the Copilot add-on meaning the full list is now:

  • Microsoft 365 Apps for Business
  • Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise
  • Microsoft 365 Business Basic
  • Microsoft 365 Business Standard
  • Microsoft 365 Business Premium
  • Microsoft 365 E3/E5 (A3/A5)
  • Microsoft 365 F1/F3
  • Office 365 E1/E3 (A3/A5)
  • Office 365 F3
  • Exchange Online
  • SharePoint Online
  • OneDrive for Business
  • Microsoft Clipchamp
  • Microsoft Teams EEA/Enterprise/Essentials
  • Planner Plan 1
  • Project Online
  • Visio Online

I haven’t seen any news that Copilot has new capabilities that relate to these new licenses so I struggle to see the point of these scenarios. If I have Project Online or Clipchamp or Visio but not Apps for Business/Enterprise…why would I buy Copilot for M365?

Perhaps we’re about to see an expansion in Copilot’s capabilities in the new FY?

Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft MACC

I’ve recently recorded a couple of videos with Nathan Miller, Microsoft Program Manager at Bytes.

In the first, we discuss Copilot for Microsoft 365 (we recorded this in October 2023 but it took me ages to edit it!):

We talk about the General Availability of Copilot for M365 as well as tips for preparing for deployment.

We then talk about the Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC): agreement:

where we explain what the MACC agreement is, how it works, and the potential pros and cons for customer organisations. We also talk about the Azure cloud marketplace and the impact this will have on customer procurement processes and also the wider IT channel.

I hope you find the videos useful and informative – as there are more planned! Let me know if you have requests for topics and also if you’d like to jump on a video or podcast with me at some point. I usually focus on blog posts but am looking to get all multimedia on you in 2024 so this is just the start 😁

The final Product Terms update for 2023 is here:

Power Virtual Agents replaced with Copilot Studio

ClipChamp SKUs added:
ClipChamp Std standalone USL
ClipChamp Premium standalone USL
ClipChamp Premium add-on* license for M365 E3/E5/BS/BP
*ClipChamp (Std) added to M365 E3/E5/BS/BP

Update to terms around add-on USLs being purchased on same agreement. It now says “Add-on User SLs, as specified in the Add-ons section of each respective product section,”

New Failover rights for Azure SQL database = “One geo-secondary specifically for disaster recovery purposes“

It has also been spotted that M365 Business Standard and Business Premium have been removed from the license prerequisites for Copilot for Microsoft 365:

Is this a temporary removal to prevent confusion as it is isn’t currently available for those licenses…or is it a sign that M365 Copilot won’t be available for SMB customers? I feel it’s the former but you never know!
