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?

    I am fine with disabling M365 Copilot altogether, are there instructions on how to do that?

    for people who are using the adblocker named uBlock, open the adblocker gui and there are; element picker and element zapper.

    select the summarize by copilot section (sometimes you have to select by selecting more elements (text, logo, bannner separately) because otherwise it will reappear).

    whenever the website loads, the picekd or zapped elements will be filtered out on a html level. i know it is unacceptable and even more annoying if you pay for office 365, but hey, i got rid of the copilot ****.

    I am also going to revert to the older version of Outlook. It is egregious that MS thinks they can decide for others and force unwanted cyber garbage on their clients. Does Apple also participate in this arm-twisting BS?
