WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.180 Today we're going to look at how to create podcasts 00:00:02.180 --> 00:00:05.379 using Microsoft Copilot for those really boring 00:00:05.379 --> 00:00:08.820 and long Teams meetings and long documents. Podcasts 00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:11.080 create a great summary, the two -way dialogue 00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.900 is fun and interesting, and spins up a new sheet 00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:16.420 with the answer. That's where the magic is, honestly. 00:00:16.879 --> 00:00:18.660 We're going to look at how you can do this from 00:00:18.660 --> 00:00:21.239 both your desktop and your mobile device from 00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:24.260 applications like OneDrive and Word and Copilot 00:00:24.260 --> 00:00:26.780 Notebooks and Teams. My name is Shervin Shafi 00:00:26.780 --> 00:00:29.239 and I'm a Copilot Principal Engineer at Microsoft. 00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:44.619 Welcome to Collaboration Simplified. So here 00:00:44.619 --> 00:00:48.140 is the calendar view of Microsoft Teams on my 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:50.979 Windows machine. And you can see that all the 00:00:50.979 --> 00:00:54.259 familiar things like chat and calendar and calls 00:00:54.259 --> 00:00:56.420 and everything, right? And what we're looking 00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:00.299 at is my calendar for a particular day on a Monday 00:01:00.299 --> 00:01:03.299 where I had a bunch of meetings. And this one 00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:07.819 in particular, Copilot in Excel Tips, was recorded 00:01:07.819 --> 00:01:11.500 at 3 .30 on Monday. And when I select it, I can 00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:16.159 see View Recap from Calendar Inside Teams. Now, 00:01:16.180 --> 00:01:19.260 when I select View Recap, this window shows up 00:01:19.260 --> 00:01:21.879 that basically says, look, this is the recording. 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.889 You can click to listen to the recording. And 00:01:25.889 --> 00:01:28.489 there's also, this is the intelligent recap. 00:01:28.609 --> 00:01:31.569 There's notes and AI summary, mentions, transcript, 00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:34.730 and there's an AI summary of it, right? And here's 00:01:34.730 --> 00:01:36.890 a transcript as well. So this is all things that 00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:38.629 have been around for a while. But what's new 00:01:38.629 --> 00:01:42.549 is on the top section here, there's audio recap. 00:01:42.909 --> 00:01:45.090 So this is where you can create these podcasts, 00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:47.510 basically. And you can also create them on your 00:01:47.510 --> 00:01:49.790 mobile device that I'll show you in just a second. 00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:53.010 So when I select audio recap, what happens is 00:01:53.010 --> 00:01:56.159 you get this view here. That says, look, you 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.340 can catch up on meetings from the last X amount 00:01:59.340 --> 00:02:03.060 of days with an audio recap in a particular type 00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:05.319 of format. So this is a format. This is a number 00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:09.360 of days. And so you can create a podcast for 00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.620 the last 24 hours. If you've had meetings that 00:02:12.620 --> 00:02:16.560 have been transcribed for the last three days 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.419 or the last 7, 14 or 30. And you can make it 00:02:20.419 --> 00:02:25.189 so that it is in an executive style. or a newscast 00:02:25.189 --> 00:02:29.009 format or a casual conversation. So let's go 00:02:29.009 --> 00:02:32.169 with casual for this one. And let's do it the 00:02:32.169 --> 00:02:35.689 last three days. And here are three meetings. 00:02:35.710 --> 00:02:38.210 You can select up to eight that I'm going to 00:02:38.210 --> 00:02:40.629 pick. Now you can make it so that the podcast 00:02:40.629 --> 00:02:43.409 is just for one meeting. That's the one you might 00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:46.189 be the most interested in or two. But in this 00:02:46.189 --> 00:02:49.069 case, I've actually taken a few of my previous 00:02:49.069 --> 00:02:53.469 videos like Excel tips or co -pilot tips or autonomous 00:02:53.469 --> 00:02:56.949 agents, and I've conducted them as Teams meetings 00:02:56.949 --> 00:02:58.969 that have been recorded. So I'm going to select 00:02:58.969 --> 00:03:02.229 all three of them and hit generate. Now, this 00:03:02.229 --> 00:03:04.830 takes a little bit of time for it to develop, 00:03:04.889 --> 00:03:07.430 but essentially it's going to look at all those 00:03:07.430 --> 00:03:11.210 meetings and create this audio recap or podcast 00:03:11.210 --> 00:03:14.740 that you can then listen to from your... laptop 00:03:14.740 --> 00:03:17.539 your computer at your desk but even better you 00:03:17.539 --> 00:03:19.719 can listen to it from your mobile device so if 00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.879 you have an android or if you have an ios device 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.699 running teams you can then take this recap from 00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:29.860 microsoft teams and then go and drive and listen 00:03:29.860 --> 00:03:32.919 to it over bluetooth in your car or you can go 00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.500 for a walk do whatever you want just be mobile 00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:39.099 not tethered to your desk and listen to the recap 00:03:39.099 --> 00:03:41.840 the other really nice thing about this is that 00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:46.479 you don't necessarily have to listen to the people's 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.819 voices that the meeting was conducted in you 00:03:49.819 --> 00:03:52.860 can you can listen to these ai voices you can 00:03:52.860 --> 00:03:55.319 see that it's still generating this audio recap 00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:57.219 it takes a little bit of time because these are 00:03:57.219 --> 00:04:01.139 three long meetings but already you can see that 00:04:01.139 --> 00:04:04.340 there is an ai summary right it tells you what 00:04:04.340 --> 00:04:07.180 this is this is an autonomous agents meeting 00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:10.280 and then there's one on copilot excel tips and 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.500 you know i talked about python powered insights 00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:15.180 and so on and then the copilot productivity is 00:04:15.180 --> 00:04:20.300 bookmarking now real quick here you can change 00:04:20.300 --> 00:04:23.759 the speed right so if you want it to go faster 00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:26.459 or slower or just one time speed you can change 00:04:26.459 --> 00:04:29.600 the speed let's do it one and a half times you 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.660 can back up 10 seconds you can move forward 10 00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:35.589 seconds you can hit the play and You can also 00:04:35.589 --> 00:04:37.970 look at the transcript, which if I click right 00:04:37.970 --> 00:04:40.550 now, it's in the process of generating and then 00:04:40.550 --> 00:04:42.730 it's formulating all these chapters, right? So 00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:45.029 you'll see all these different chapters that 00:04:45.029 --> 00:04:47.470 it's going ahead and creating for you. All right, 00:04:47.490 --> 00:04:49.750 that was actually quicker than I thought. So 00:04:49.750 --> 00:04:52.029 it generated everything and you can see all the 00:04:52.029 --> 00:04:54.129 different chapters and you can see how long each 00:04:54.129 --> 00:04:56.470 chapter is in terms of the timestamps. And you 00:04:56.470 --> 00:04:58.449 can fast forward to any of these if you wanted 00:04:58.449 --> 00:05:01.069 to. So let's just start from the beginning and 00:05:01.069 --> 00:05:03.829 see what it sounds like at. one and a half times 00:05:03.829 --> 00:05:08.250 speed which is what i've selected hi sherman 00:05:08.250 --> 00:05:11.449 today is october 1st 2025. there are three meetings 00:05:11.449 --> 00:05:13.490 on the agenda autonomous agents copilot excel 00:05:13.490 --> 00:05:16.389 tips and microsoft 365 copilot tips the autonomous 00:05:16.389 --> 00:05:17.810 agent session walks through building a background 00:05:17.810 --> 00:05:20.790 ai so that sounds pretty interesting and let's 00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:23.329 just switch over to the autonomous agents let's 00:05:23.329 --> 00:05:27.459 fast forward to this section over here This autonomous 00:05:27.459 --> 00:05:29.379 agents meeting dives into the nuts and bolts 00:05:29.379 --> 00:05:31.339 of setting up an AI agent in Copilot Studio. 00:05:31.500 --> 00:05:33.839 Now let's look at a few more things here. First 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.500 of all, notice that we're actually using this 00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:39.060 meetings application inside Teams. This is something 00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:41.060 that you can add on to your Teams environment. 00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.600 And we're in the audio recap section. The other 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.379 thing that's kind of interesting is that you 00:05:46.379 --> 00:05:49.259 can actually listen to it on mobile. It's right 00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:51.060 here. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to 00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:58.040 select that. If you like the video so far, make 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.319 sure to give it a like and thank you very much 00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:03.079 for your support. Grab my phone and scan it and 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.100 show you what it looks like when you're actually 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:07.939 listening to this podcast from your mobile device. 00:06:08.100 --> 00:06:10.459 So here we go. I'm going to go ahead and scan 00:06:10.459 --> 00:06:14.139 this and it's going to launch Teams for me. There 00:06:14.139 --> 00:06:17.300 it is. This is the audio recap. Hi, Shervin. 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:22.019 Today is October 1st, 2025. There are three meetings 00:06:22.019 --> 00:06:24.459 on the agenda. so again you have this interface 00:06:24.459 --> 00:06:27.300 on the bottom you can change the speed you can 00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:30.199 fast forward you can look at the transcript and 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.079 then here you can actually even fast forward 00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:34.740 by touching a particular section of the transcript 00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:37.480 and it'll play for you from that point on you 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:40.040 don't have to be the person who knows every excel 00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:43.620 shortcut you're just so that's another way of 00:06:43.620 --> 00:06:45.980 basically interacting with it which is from your 00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:49.139 mobile device and by the way if you are just 00:06:49.629 --> 00:06:52.069 trying to get to audio recaps on your mobile 00:06:52.069 --> 00:06:54.389 device, all you got to do is open up Teams and 00:06:54.389 --> 00:06:56.610 go to the calendar. And if you notice on the 00:06:56.610 --> 00:06:59.290 top right -hand side, there's a headset icon. 00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:01.750 So when you select that, it takes you to your 00:07:01.750 --> 00:07:05.050 audio recaps. And this is where your existing 00:07:05.050 --> 00:07:07.430 recaps show up, like the one we just generated 00:07:07.430 --> 00:07:10.370 on my Windows machine. But you can also click 00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:14.689 plus new recap and generate recaps. And that 00:07:14.689 --> 00:07:17.709 show up here, but they also show up on your desktop 00:07:17.709 --> 00:07:24.899 as well. Now, since we're looking at my iPhone, 00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:27.600 I'm going to switch over to OneDrive and show 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.959 you how you can generate audio recaps or podcasts 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.220 for a Word document. So let's open up OneDrive. 00:07:35.339 --> 00:07:38.259 And here I have a folder where I have this autonomous 00:07:38.259 --> 00:07:41.459 agents transcript as a Word document. And if 00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:43.779 I select the three dots on the right -hand side, 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.720 I can go ahead and generate an audio overview. 00:07:46.899 --> 00:07:50.259 So let me select that. And this takes a little 00:07:50.259 --> 00:07:52.699 bit of time, but it'll take the Word document 00:07:52.699 --> 00:07:56.120 and create this podcast format. Hello and welcome 00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:59.079 to this audio summary focused on building an 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.759 autonomous artificial intelligence agent using 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:05.079 Microsoft Copilot Studio. Today, I'll guide you 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.399 through the main steps and concepts underpinning 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.459 the design and implementation of an AI agent 00:08:09.459 --> 00:08:11.300 that operates independently, helping to streamline 00:08:11.300 --> 00:08:13.040 everyday work tasks with minimal user intervention. 00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:15.459 So that's the second place that you can create 00:08:15.459 --> 00:08:22.129 these. But if I switch real quick back to my 00:08:22.129 --> 00:08:25.189 desktop, you'll see that up on the top, if I 00:08:25.189 --> 00:08:27.790 open up this autonomous agents document, the 00:08:27.790 --> 00:08:29.949 same document that I just opened up in OneDrive, 00:08:30.029 --> 00:08:33.750 you can actually select view more and get an 00:08:33.750 --> 00:08:37.159 AI summary. and look at the activity and suggestions 00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:39.600 all this really cool stuff up along the top here 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:42.179 but on the right hand side this is where you 00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:44.899 can also generate an audio recap or a podcast 00:08:44.899 --> 00:08:47.340 from your machine so you don't have to just do 00:08:47.340 --> 00:08:49.500 from one drive you can do from word you can do 00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:51.600 from so many different places so when i select 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:58.539 that it starts to generate that for me now finally 00:08:58.539 --> 00:09:01.759 i wanted to show you if you fire up the m365 00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:04.769 copilot app let's do that here you'll notice 00:09:04.769 --> 00:09:07.269 that on the left hand side you have your familiar 00:09:07.269 --> 00:09:10.730 search and chat and agents and conversations 00:09:10.730 --> 00:09:12.789 but you also have this thing called notebooks 00:09:12.789 --> 00:09:14.909 now i don't know if people have been experimenting 00:09:14.909 --> 00:09:17.889 with notebooks it's kind of new but it's super 00:09:17.889 --> 00:09:20.629 awesome and what i've done is i've created multiple 00:09:20.629 --> 00:09:24.090 notebooks here and one of them is this channel 00:09:24.090 --> 00:09:26.710 collaboration simplified and basically when i 00:09:26.710 --> 00:09:29.830 select it What I've done is I've dropped in those 00:09:29.830 --> 00:09:32.470 three transcripts from the meetings, the Copilot 00:09:32.470 --> 00:09:35.750 Tips and Excel and Autonomous, into the notebook 00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:38.509 and using different file formats. One is a Word 00:09:38.509 --> 00:09:41.669 document, one is using a PDF format, and the 00:09:41.669 --> 00:09:44.590 other one is using Microsoft Pages. Now, back 00:09:44.590 --> 00:09:47.789 to the podcasting feature, what you can do when 00:09:47.789 --> 00:09:51.309 you scroll up is you can select get an audio 00:09:51.309 --> 00:09:53.909 overview of your notebook. So I'm going to select 00:09:53.909 --> 00:09:56.960 get an audio overview. And here, you'll see different 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.200 customization parameters. Like, do you want the 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.820 format to be a narration or a dialogue between 00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:05.480 two people? The narration is just one person. 00:10:05.620 --> 00:10:08.080 Do you want the style to be professional or casual? 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.559 And do you want it to be shorter, medium or long? 00:10:10.659 --> 00:10:14.500 And also any additional customization. So let's 00:10:14.500 --> 00:10:17.139 just select, let's have a dialogue because I 00:10:17.139 --> 00:10:19.279 like to have the two -way conversation. We'll 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.000 keep it casual. We'll keep it short. And then 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:26.799 I'll say here, Focus on the Excel tips versus 00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:29.639 Copilot and the autonomous agents.
