How can I disable Copilot completely in my Outlook WEB interface?

Anonymous

Recently, I've started getting things like "Summary by Copilot" or "Try Draft with Copilot" inside my Outlook WEB interface.

I've searched the help pages and online, but could not find a way to completely disconnect Copilot from my email web interface. I don't want it to even scan my emails.

I feel like I've got AI pushed down my throat lately by everyone, and frankly, I really don't want it.

Thanks

    I too, do not want AI shoved down my throat. But in Outlook, it's in the way of composing an email. Please give us the option to turn it off on the web.

    Yes, there's a switch now -

    The button is still there, just grayed out, and I'm still seeing the "summary" banner. I'll give it a few reload cycles before sighing in frustration again...

    EricDS1964: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!

    Your method seems to have worked and I am not getting AI shoved in my face when I receive or write an e-mail.

    I have my own friggin' brain and I don't need the nerds shoving their software down my throat!

    Be careful when you cancel your old subscription and initiate a new subscription w/o AI.

    I have a professional discount of 30%. But if I cancel it and reinitiate a new subscription, I would lose this discount.

    So it would become more costly in fact. Instead I managed to switch off the Copilot in all the applications except on the web.

    Also it is unclear how long the version without AI is available. At a certain moment MS might force you to upgrade anyway.

    Making you pay extra for something you never requested.

    Imagine this happening in the car industry when you have to pay premium for extra features you did not want like a useless ugly spoiler.
