Licence dependency
Premium Copilot stage — Microsoft 365 Copilot Premium is needed for automatic work-grounded context across the user's Microsoft 365 data.
Credit dependency
Normally none beyond the Premium licence for standard work-grounded Copilot use.
Watch-outs for Premium Copilot
- The Premium licence does not mean every Microsoft 365 AI feature is automatically enabled.
- Permissions hygiene matters more because Copilot can use work context the user is already allowed to access.
- App experiences differ: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams do not all expose identical capabilities.
- Keep sensitive meeting scenarios such as safeguarding, HR, malpractice, appeals and complaints under explicit policy and review.
