Understand the Copilot subscriptions

- [Instructor] The name Copilot is used by Microsoft for several of their products and services. So before we jump into this course, I want to take a moment to clarify how the name applies to this specific course on using copilot in OneNote. I'm here at Microsoft's website at microsoft.com/microsoft-copilot and let's just scroll down the page here a bit. Now, in order to enable Copilot in OneNote and other Microsoft 365 applications like Word or PowerPoint, you have to have a paid subscription to Copilot through either a personal or individual account or an account you have through work or school also referred to as a business account. If you're subscribing as an individual, you'll be subscribing to Copilot Pro and you can see that one of the features of Copilot Pro is that you can access Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote and Outlook. Now, if your Microsoft account is through your work or school, that's considered a business account and the subscription for a business account is called Copilot for Microsoft 365. In most cases, if you have your subscription through work or school, your network administrator or IT department will set up your Copilot subscription for you and you'll see Copilot when you open up your Microsoft 365 applications without having to do anything yourself but that's a quick overview of the different Copilot subscriptions. For this course, just bear in mind that you must have either a Copilot Pro or a Copilot for Microsoft 365 subscription in order to see Copilot in OneNote. Now, if you'd like to learn more about what Copilot entails across Microsoft's products and services including what this free version of Copilot offers, be sure to check out my colleague Nick Brazzi's course, What is Copilot?
