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

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.

I totally agree - why is this not an option to turn this off - there is already 2 other places on the screen where co-pilot icon appears - why have I got a banner that I very rarely use taking up lots of screen real estate ?

I've been asked the same thing by my users. I want to report that many folks are deeply unsatisfied that they have a banner in a prime location that's unable to be moved or removed.

Thanks, -Eric

This doesn't work. The banner is still there. Can you guys please give users the option to turn that off? As other posters have said, there are other ways to access and use Copilot, you don't need it in your face every time you read an email.

The steps outlined above did not work for me either. Did anyone find a way to disable the "summary by copilot" on every email? It's the most annoying thing and I may have to switch back to the old outlook to get rid of it. I have no idea who would design this option and not allow users to be able to turn it off.
