Open Copilot and set GPT 5.5

Get from "I have a license" to "I'm using the right model" without clicking around.

You'll need

M365 license (every Qvantum employee has one)
2 minutes
Any modern browser, or the Teams desktop app

Step 1 — Open Copilot

Open Microsoft Edge, Teams, or Word. In the top-right toolbar (Edge sidebar / Teams app rail / Word ribbon) you'll see a Copilot icon. Click it.

Microsoft 365 Copilot open on the "Welcome, how can I help?" screen, with the Copilot icon highlighted in the left app rail and a "Copilot (⌘6)" tooltip.

The Copilot icon in the app rail — its tooltip reads "Copilot (⌘6)". Clicking it opens the chat shown here.

If you don't see the icon, sign out and back into M365 with your Qvantum account. If it's still missing, ping an ambassador.

Step 2 — Open the model picker

In the Copilot chat window, look for the model selector in the top-right (it says Auto by default). Click it to open the picker, then expand the GPT · Open AI group.

The Copilot model picker open, showing Auto, Quick Response, and Think Deeper options at the top and an expanded GPT (Open AI) group listing GPT 5.5 and earlier versions.

The model picker, opened from the top-right "Auto" button. Expand the "GPT · Open AI" group to see the GPT versions.

Why this matters: Different models have different strengths. GPT 5.5 is faster and reasons better than the default for most internal Qvantum tasks. It's the right starting point.

Step 3 — Select GPT 5.5

In the GPT group, pick a GPT 5.5 entry — Quick Response for fast answers or Think Deeper for harder reasoning. The selector at the top of the chat then confirms your choice (e.g. "GPT 5.5 Think").

The model picker with "GPT 5.5 Think Deeper" checked in the GPT group, and the top-right selector now reading "GPT 5.5 Think".

"GPT 5.5 Think Deeper" selected — note the top-right selector now reads "GPT 5.5 Think".

Tip: The model selection sticks within a conversation but resets between sessions. If you reopen Copilot tomorrow, check the model is still GPT 5.5.

Still stuck?

Two ways to get help:

Ambassador: Ask any of the people listed on the ambassadors page.
Teams channel: Post in #ai-qvantum and tag an ambassador.
