AI @ SHSU - Collaborate Using Copilot in Microsoft Teams

It can record and transcribe meetings, summarize discussions, highlight decisions and action items, and even suggest follow-ups or draft emails and tasks. Copilot transforms meetings from passive conversations into actionable, searchable records, saving time and improving clarity.
