Use Copilot Pro for individual subscribers

“

- [Instructor] Previously in this course, I said that you can sign into an account when you use Copilot. Signing in with a free account enables a chat history and access to newer language models, but there are also subscriptions available that you can pay for to unlock even more features and security safeguards. In this video, I want to introduce Copilot Pro, an upgrade subscription available to individual users. When comparing Copilot Pro to the free version, the main upgrade is the ability to use Copilot tools inside of Microsoft 365 applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Using Copilot inside of those applications offers many of the same features we've seen in this course, but it also unlocks AI-enabled features designed specifically for creating documents, presentations, or spreadsheets. And in Outlook, the AI can give you summaries of your email communications or help you write drafts. There are other courses on LinkedIn Learning that show how to use Copilot within these Office applications. That's the main reason people buy the Copilot Pro subscription. However, if you are using the Copilot chat assistant that we've seen in this course, Copilot Pro will enable a faster experience. It unlocks access to newer language models even during peak times. And if you generate images and edit them in Microsoft Designer, it can accelerate those user experiences. Online tools like Microsoft Copilot require lots of processing power from remote server farms. These tools are expensive for Microsoft to manage. Using a free account with Copilot is a great way to get started with these tools. But if you use them often and need a faster user experience, Copilot Pro may help.
