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?

    Dear Stephen Cunliffe,

    Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

    According to its description, I understand that you are looking for the option to turn off the "Summary by Copilot" banner that appears on every single email I receive in outlook? However, there is currently no way to remove only the "Summary by Copilot" banner. You may need to completely disable Copilot and its summaries and hence disable the "Summary by Copilot" banner in your Outlook.

    Moreover, outlook within an organization, the "Summary by Copilot" might be controlled by your IT administrator. Please contact them to inquire if they can disable Copilot for your account. They can do this by going to follow these steps, Turn off Copilot for Sales features in Microsoft 365 apps | Microsoft Learn:

    1. Sign in to Microsoft 365 admin center with your tenant admin credentials.
    2. Select Settings > Org settings.
    3. On the Org settings page, under the Services tab, find Sales Copilot.
    4. In the Sales Copilot panel, clear the option that says "Allow users to see Sales Copilot content in Microsoft 365 apps".
    5. Click Save to apply the changes. This should hide the annoying banner and give you more space for your emails!

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Please understand that our initial reply may not always immediately resolve the issue. However, with your help and more detailed information, we can work together to find a solution. Thank you for your cooperation.
