How do I TURN OFF the "Summary by Copilot banner that appears on every single email I receive in outlook?

I may, maybe once a year when tagged into a super long email thread try to get a summary... but 99.99% of the time I will never want to use this, as such the banner is annoying and consumes lots of valuable space where I could render my email.

How can I turn this off? or hide it by default?

    yes, that co-pilot summary banner is now appearing in every email I open. Like the many other complainants all I want is to be able as a user to manage my own use of this function and close off the banners.

    And furthermore, the once or twice I have tried co-pilot in other areas (trying to find things out) I have been given incorrect, misleading and downright false information. So I would like to say with everyone else, let us get rid of co-pilot!!!

    I agree with the other posts about not being able to remove copilot. My issue is that my microsoft account is not a company, it is a private account and I am not able to shut off copilot. I am sure there is a way or option to do that if it is not a company account.

    Is there now a way to disable Co-pilot in Outlook? I have completely removed the App from my computer, but Outlook still shows a 1/2" tall banner in the middle of my small laptop screen. This is so annoying. I actually tried looking at summaries of a couple email strings and the summary completely useless. Huge waste of space.

    This is a blue-screen of death kinda moment and I wish MS would fix it.

    I hate this banner. Please turn it off. It is taking up valuable visual real estate on my small laptop screen.

    Thank you, thank you! I have Ublock origin and it worked! We'll see if it survives a reboot, as you said. But for now, to be free of that stupid encroachment is a satisfying start to my Saturday.
