A message from Pugh Computers & Microsoft
We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who attended Pugh’s sessions at the LegalTech Wales Roadshow in Cardiff. It truly was a great event! We are now looking forward to the upcoming Bangor and Swansea events.
It was inspiring to see the level of interest and engagement in our Modern Workplace solutions, and here’s a recap of the key questions from our sessions:
Q1. When using Copilot to generate presentations, is it possible to use a corporate template to get all presentations to follow the company branding/theme?
Answer: Yes – Use your organization’s branding with Copilot in PowerPoint – Microsoft Support.
Q2. When using Copilot to summarise a conversation of multiple emails, do the emails used get marked as ‘Read’?
Answer: No, however, if you click on a reference, it takes you to that email and then that email is marked as ‘Read’.
Q3. How do I know if I have a Standard or Premium Teams Room license?
Answer: You can check in the M365 admin center by going to ‘Billing’ > ‘Licenses’. You may need to ask your IT team to access this portal for you. If you’re interested in the meeting recording functionality, that is in Standard – you just turn on ‘Record and Transcribe’. A short while after the end of the meeting, recap functionality is available in the meeting chat window. Here, Standard will show you the recording and transcription, however, it will be obvious here if you have Premium from the timelines of speakers underneath the video. All the differences are listed here – Microsoft Teams Premium licensing – Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
Q4. What Large Language Model (LLM) is Copilot based on?
Answer: ChatGPT 4 Turbo. Our understanding is that this is the latest, recently released version.
Resources
Our information handout is available here, reminding you of our five-step approach to Copilot adoption. These are practical actions you can take today, no matter which stage you’re currently at, whether you’ve never used AI before, all the way up to taking that final step to adopt Copilot AI organisation wide.
