Important

It can take up to 48 hours for the app to appear in Outlook and other Microsoft 365 apps. If users can't see the app after 48 hours, it might be due to the public attachment handling policy. More information: Why can't users see the Copilot for Sales app in Outlook after it's deployed?

User-deployed app installation

End users can install the Outlook add-in and Teams app from within Microsoft AppSource in Outlook or Teams respectively, as long as they aren't explicitly blocked by the administrator.  

If end users install the Outlook add-in, it's considered user-deployed instead of admin-deployed and will not have full feature support. User-deployed apps don't support Copilot for Sales banner notifications that appear within the top of new or reply emails. Also, the Copilot for Sales is not added automatically to meeting invites. However, sellers can manually add Copilot for Sales to the meeting to get meeting summaries.
