Partner POV | Showcasing Copilot with Logitech & Microsoft Teams

Article written by Craig Ishii, Solutions Marketing Lead, Logitech. 

Leveraging Logitech's cutting-edge video-conferencing device capabilities and Microsoft Teams' extensive suite of features, accessible through both personal computers and native Teams Rooms, our partnership has emerged as the industry leader for businesses and collaborative teams worldwide. By bringing together Logitech technology with the versatile, user-friendly environment of Microsoft Teams, we've dramatically transformed hybrid teamwork and meeting equity. 

Continuing this journey, with the announcement and public preview of speaker recognition and attribution for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, let's explore how this feature will unleash the power of Copilot in a Logitech meeting. 

How does Copilot work in Microsoft Teams? 

In Microsoft Teams environments, Copilot enhances collaboration and helps employees get the most out of their Teams chats and meetings. Copilot helps to recap, identify follow-up tasks, create agendas, and ask questions for more effective and focused meetings. With Copilot employees can understand key takeaways, see what they've missed, and pinpoint key people of interest in chat threads they were added to. 

In a Microsoft Teams Room on Windows, where participants are all physically in one place, Copilot will bring the same capabilities by harnessing the feature set of the Logitech video bar in the room. During meetings, video bars like our Rally Bar line capture clear audio through top-of-the-line built-in microphones. The Teams Rooms software will then recognize and attribute meeting dialogue and transcripts to the correct speakers, which will enable Copilot to summarize discussions and provide insights. Once speaker recognition is in public preview it will be available for the entire range of Logitech conference cameras.

Copilot for Teams in Action

All-in-all, Copilot is about enabling employees to be more efficient with their time and and out of meetings. Let's explore a few scenarios where Copilot enhances collaboration, communication, and productivity:

We'll start at the beginning of the meeting: participants aren't always able to arrive at the start of the meeting. With Copilot, when someone arrives late, they'll be offered a summary of what they missed. This quick catch-up helps to get everyone caught up without having to repeat the material.

Then, during the transition into the summary and assignment phase of the meeting, Copilot can be used to summarize key takeaways and action items. Those who were previously dedicated notetakers can focus on the meeting, and facilitators can easily call up what needs to be done.

For participants who missed the meeting, or just need a quick summary, Copilot provides meeting summaries and key insights like assignments, main points, and discussion recaps. 

There are a variety of ways that Copilot will help employees save time with meetings whether they missed it, arrived late, or just need a quick review.

Logitech and Microsoft Teams are committed to setting new standards in meeting equity. We're excited to see how these new features impact meeting equity and team productivity. Our continuing commitment is to transform the meeting experience, ensuring every participant feels valued and that every team is empowered to reach new heights.

Microsoft's public preview of speaker recognition and attribution for Teams Rooms on Windows is scheduled to be released soon. Look forward to more ways that Logitech and Microsoft Teams are enabling the New Logic of Work.
