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?

    How do you do that? Are you cancelling Office 365?

    I can't seem to get rid of "summary by Copilot" in Outlook ;-(

    You can't. They have already summarized and read all your emails. You can seemingly disable the function in the app, but on the web, all your emails are analyzed in parallel, and you can't turn that off."

    I suggest as many people as possible email: "buscond@microsoft.com"

    and ask them to do something.

    I email them every day.

    This is tyranny!

    The older version of Outlook 365 should still be on your PC or wherever your new version is. I learned to do this from an earlier article on the topic, unfortunately, I no longer have it, but if you google it, check YouTube tutorials, or use GPT chat you should be able to find the steps by searching "restore the older version outlook." Sorry, I cannot be of greater assistance.

    Im curious how this is even legal under Canadian privacy laws. Microsoft never asked permission to use our emails to train its AI and yet they are obviously doing exactly that. I for one am filing a complaint with Consumer Protection and Privacy Commissioner and others should do the same and those in USA with FTC and EU should most certainly file since its the most likely jurisdiction to do anything
