As an admin, you can pin the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to the Windows taskbar of managed devices. This behavior gives users quick access to the Copilot app, which includes Chat, Search, Agents (if enabled), Notebooks, and Create. If your organization has an active Intune license, use the Microsoft 365 admin center to automatically pin the app on all Windows 10 and Windows 11 Intune-managed devices with the app installed. This single toggle simplifies the pinning process instead of manually creating and deploying a StartLayout policy.
