Microsoft Teams is rolling out a new AI-powered feature called Facilitator, which can watch or listen to meetings and proactively address knowledge gaps. The AI can identify when participants ask questions or express uncertainty and retrieve and share relevant answers using web search in the meeting chat. The feature will be disabled by default and comes with admin controls. Facilitator only works in the meeting chat and is triggered only depending on the context in real time. Microsoft says responses are expected to be infrequent in practice, typically occurring less than once per meeting. Facilitator is supported only in standard Teams meetings and does not work in calls, webinars, or town halls. It also works in meetings that include external or cross-tenant participants.
