Microsoft Copilot (Microsoft 365): Live subtitles on voice chat in Copilot when using the quick composer

🚨 The Signal: Copilot voice chat now includes live subtitles, improving accessibility and potentially increasing user reliance on voice input. This change affects how sensitive information might be processed and displayed.

The Impact

All Copilot users are affected, with a minor risk of increased exposure of sensitive information through transcription logs.

• End Users: Increased accessibility for voice interactions.
• Security Team: Review data retention policies for transcribed content.
• Compliance Team: Assess implications for data privacy and sovereignty.
• IT Admins: No direct administrative action required, but awareness is key.

The Action

1. Review Microsoft Purview audit logs for Copilot interactions to understand data flow.
2. Communicate to users about the availability of live subtitles and data handling implications.
3. Consult Microsoft's data residency commitments for Copilot transcription data.
4. Assess existing data loss prevention (DLP) policies for Copilot interactions.
