Account Selector in Outlook Copilot Side Pane
[Web]
When users have more than one Copilot-enabled account added to new Outlook, the Copilot side pane in Calendar will include an account dropdown that makes it clear which Copilot-enabled account you’re using and lets you switch accounts without relying on Outlook UI’s account context.

What changed:
Users who have more than one Copilot-enabled account in new Outlook now see an account dropdown in the Copilot side pane within Calendar. Previously, account context depended on the broader Outlook user interface context. The new selector clearly identifies the active Copilot-enabled account and allows account switching directly from the Copilot side pane.
Why:
Users with multiple accounts need a clear way to confirm which account Copilot is using. Direct account selection reduces confusion and helps ensure actions are performed in the intended account context.
Try this:
Open Calendar in new Outlook and select the Copilot side pane.
Select the account dropdown to view available Copilot-enabled accounts.
Choose a different account and continue using Copilot in the selected context.
Why this matters:
Clear account visibility helps users work in the correct Copilot context when multiple accounts are available.
Business impact:
Organizations that support multiple work accounts can reduce account-context mistakes during calendar-related Copilot tasks.
Personal impact:
Users can switch accounts more quickly and verify the active Copilot account without navigating other Outlook controls.
