The most popular requests include live captions for Teams meetings, reducing background distractions while on a call and help with turning on Focus Assist to support work that requires sustained concentration. It can help with hearing, mental health, mobility, neurodiversity and vision needs. It recommends features in Microsoft 365, Edge and Windows 10 that help people change the look and feel of online meetings to meet their needs. The bot can be accessed by all staff and students via a tab in Microsoft Teams and via individual chat windows.
