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

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

    Stan.L's reply says, "Currently, the option to turn off Copilot is provided in the Office desktop application, but this option has not yet been deployed to Outlook web."

    Can I get some clarification on this part? I'm running Outlook 2019 - specifically "Microsoft® Outlook® 2019 MSO (Version 2505 Build 16.0.18827.20102) 64-bit" (copied directly from the About dialog) - on Windows 10, and just noticed this "Copilot" showing up in the top-right corner. I don't see an option to turn this off, and Google isn't showing any accurate results either, but you say it's an option, so I'm hoping I'm just missing it; can you show me where the option is? (I've already uninstalled the Copilot application and restarted Outlook, but it's still there.)

    Thank you!

    EDIT (7/9/25): I'm happy to report that this reply from Gabriel on another thread fixed the issue on Outlook desktop.

    Agree 100%. I've been using Microsoft Windows and Office since their inception. I think I know what I'm doing by now. Just let me open the apps, do what I need to do and be done with it. If I need "help", I'll ask for it. Sheesh!!

    I turned it off and was able to delete the copilot app. This may be because my MS 365 renewal date came up and I had chosen the option without copilot..

    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.
