Microsoft Viva: GitHub Copilot spend and usage insights in Copilot Analytics

Microsoft Viva Insights will introduce GitHub Copilot spend and usage insights for eligible managers, Insights Analysts, and Global Administrators. Disabled by default during Public Preview starting July 2026, it helps organizations monitor Copilot adoption and credit use, with access controlled by existing privacy and role settings.

[What and Why]

Microsoft is introducing GitHub Copilot spend and usage insights in Microsoft Viva Insights. This feature helps organizations understand GitHub Copilot adoption and credit consumption so they can make informed decisions about AI investments and usage.

Eligible managers with manager-scoped access, Insights Analysts with global partition, and Global Administrators can view GitHub Copilot usage and consumption insights in Viva Insights.

During Public Preview, this feature is disabled by default. Insights Administrators and AI Administrators can choose to enable the experience.
