Copilot in Teams meetings: user-controlled on/off toggle
Microsoft Teams will soon let users toggle Copilot off during meetings, disabling recording, transcripts, and Facilitator while off. Rollout starts mid-September 2025. Users control this via the Copilot icon on desktop, web, and mobile. No admin action is needed, but user notification is recommended. Introduction Coming soon to Microsoft Teams: a new control for users to turn off Microsoft Copilot during a meeting. This control will also turn off recording, transcript, and Facilitator if they are active. Copilot will not have access to what was said or shown in the meeting while it was turned off. After the meeting ends, Copilot will have access to all chat content and any recordings or transcripts created while it was active. When this will happen Targeted Release: Rollout will begin mid-September 2025 and is expected to complete by late September 2025. General Availability: Rollout will begin late September 2025 and is expected to complete by early October 2025. How this affects your organization This feature will be available to users by default. After rollout, users can turn off Copilot during a meeting using the following methods: Teams for desktop and web: Select the Copilot icon at the top of the screen to open Copilot, then select Turn off for everyone from the More options (three-dot) menu in the top-right corner of the Copilot panel.
