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?

    The uBlock extension hack has partially stopped working. The Summary by Copilot banner is back, but the writing prompt widget is still gone in the body of the email. I'm using Firefox on Windows 11.

    Does anybody have a fix for using uBlock to remove the Summary banner?

    Thanks in advance!

    I managed to do this as follows

    In outlook go to

    Settings

    Select General

    Select Privacy and Data

    Select Privacy settings

    Select Connected Experiences

    Toggle off experiences that analyse your content.

    For me it stopped the co-pilot icon appearing on the banner and in new emails or replies.

    We can only continue to contact Micros soft using the CoPilot feedback button and hope they listen.

    I will not give up!

    I am unable to get Copilot off my account or my email. I do not want it and would like someone to remotely remove it for me. you can reach me at ljwo@ hotmail.com or txt me at 612 518 5179. This is most frustrating thing I have encountered. You manage to get my money every year and I am not even sure what you do for me. Please get this off my account!!!!
