Audio overviews are a way to listen to a summary or discussion about your files. There are two styles available:Â
-
Narration (the default experience): A single AI host gives you a quick and clear summary of the main points in your file.
-
Conversation: Two AI hosts engage in a natural and conversational discussion, adding depth and nuance as they explore the key ideas in your content.
If you are a OneDrive for work or school user, you can generate audio overviews for Word documents and PDFs with Copilot on OneDrive mobile. Â
Note:Â This feature is available in English only for now.Â
