Updated June 4, 2026: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We’re introducing a new capability in Microsoft 365 Copilot chat that allows users to RSVP to meetings directly within the chat experience. This enhancement simplifies meeting management by enabling quick responses such as Accept, Decline, Tentative, Follow, or Remove canceled meetings—all without leaving Copilot chat.
