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 see it is gone if you go to settings, general, privacy and data, privacy settings, and turn off "Turn on experiences that analyze your content", Why couldn't they just say, "Turn off Copilot"?

    Thanks, I did that; here's what I told them:

    You keep inserting apps that nobody wants or needs and you make it extremely difficult to turn them off!! and there's no way to disable Copilot in Outlook! Please give users the option to disable it - permanently!! Your users will love you for doing that.

    To limit copilot intrusion in Office apps, go to file, options, and then toggle off copilot. Hope this helps. Another useful trick, if using the Edge browser, is to go to settings, and languages and toggle off copilot under "writing assistance."

    Is that answer some sort of joke? I log in to admin and all it gives is an option for dark mode, no org settings nothing. Would be nice if Microsoft could at least give proper instructions for their annoying products.
