Streamline daily admin tasks with AI-powered insights, natural language queries, and automation using Microsoft 365 Admin Copilot. Quickly recap key updates, monitor service health, and track important changes—all in one place. No more digging through multiple pages—just ask Copilot for the answers you need, grounded in real-time data from your tenant. From finding users and managing licenses to generating visual insights and automating tasks with PowerShell, use Copilot to simplify complex admin workflows and save valuable time. For Copilot in the admin center to light up, all you need is one active Microsoft 365 Copilot license for any user in your tenant and from the Microsoft 365 admin center, you can get started right away.

Jeremy Chapman, Director of Microsoft 365, demonstrates how to leverage Copilot for proactive guidance, whether in the Microsoft 365 admin center or directly within Copilot Chat.
