What Facilitator does in a meeting Facilitator, a pre-built Copilot agent, keeps shared live notes, runs the agenda with a timer and captures follow-up tasks in a scheduled Teams meeting. Facilitator Shared live notes Agenda with a timer Follow-up tasks Runs in a scheduled Teams meeting

Facilitator is the built-in agent for running a meeting, not for research or numbers. Next to Researcher and Analyst, it is one of the pre-built agents that come with Microsoft 365 Copilot. You turn it on for a scheduled Teams meeting, in the meeting options or during the call. It then keeps real-time notes that participants can co-author, posts the agenda, shows the agenda topics with a timer and captures follow-up tasks.

Adding Facilitator to a meeting needs a Copilot licence, and it only works in scheduled meetings, not in channel meetings, instant meetings or Teams calls. During the meeting you can @mention it in the chat to catch up on what you missed. If you want to ask it about the meeting afterwards, turn on transcription before or during the call.

Often confused with: Intelligent Recap. Facilitator works during the meeting, keeping notes and time; Intelligent Recap is the summary, tasks and markers you open in the Recap tab afterwards.
