This feature is available to all users licensed with Microsoft 365 Copilot, with no need for additional licenses or add-ons. It works across a broad range of platforms, including Windows Desktop, Mobile, Mac, Web, Teams and Surface Devices, and Linux. This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 494510.
