Copilot Licence Adoption

The question it answers: Which Microsoft 365 Copilot seats were never used or went quiet, and in which apps is Copilot used?

Microsoft 365 Copilot is one of the most expensive per-user licences. Which seats were never used, which went quiet, and in which apps do people actually use Copilot? Unused and inactive seats are listed first - they are the ones to reassign.

Note

If ‘Display concealed user, group, and site names in all reports’ is on in the Microsoft 365 admin centre, names come back hashed and departments stay empty. Usage data lags by up to 72 hours.
