I’d like to use Copilot within my Teams meeting extension through an API—specifically to send a custom prompt and receive the response in a defined format.

I’m working on a Teams meeting extension for my organization, and as part of the app, I need to generate a meeting summary. The plan is to send the meeting transcript along with user-provided input and output formats as a prompt, and receive a summarized output with a final verdict in that specific format.

Is it possible to achieve this using Copilot in Teams?

    Hello @Mangesh Singh,

    Yes, this can be done using Copilot in Teams. Copilot is able to generate meeting summaries from the meeting transcript combined with user-supplied input and output formats as a prompt. Copilot can summarize main points of discussion, provide action items, and respond to questions in real-time during or after a meeting. Once the meeting is over, Copilot offers a summary with a link to the recap, transcript, recording, notes, shared files, and more. You can ask Copilot for detailed notes or certain insights by asking questions or asking for a breakdown of discussed topics. The meeting needs to be transcribed to allow Copilot.

    To do this in your Teams meeting add-on:

    1.Make the meeting transcribed.

    2.Uuse Copilot to create a summary from the transcript and user-supplied formats.

    3.Adjust prompts to obtain elaborate notes or targeted insights as necessary.
