Frequently asked questions
I don't see Microsoft 365 Copilot in the desktop versions of Office apps (such as Word, Excel, Outlook...etc).
- Microsoft 365 Copilot relies on the latest versions of Office apps (Word, Excel, Outlook...etc) to work correctly. To download the latest version visit your Microsoft 365 account at SFU via the Microsoft 365 portal. If your device is also managed by your IT team at SFU (and you cannot install the latest versions yourself), ensure they have installed the Microsoft 365 version of Office apps and not older versions (such as Office 2019/2022).
I just got access to Microsoft 365 Copilot but don't see it. How does it take to become available?
- Microsoft 365 Copilot should become available immediately on the web version of Microsoft 365 apps (such as Word Online, Excel Online...etc) after it's been assigned to your SFU account. However, it may take up to a day for it to become available in the desktop versions or apps. If you don't see it appear within those time frames, sign-out, fully close each app, and then sign back in.
