Copilot Chat is now included with many Microsoft 365 business subscriptions. Exactly what you can do in Copilot Chat including the features available to you, depends on whether or not your admin assigned you a Microsoft 365 Copilot add-on license.
- If you're using Copilot Chat without a Copilot add-on license responses to your prompts will be grounded in data from the web and powered by the latest large language models (LLMs).
