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

I totally agree with this and the many others (including myself) who have made similar comments.

What we urgently need is a response from Microsoft.

As subscribers to your software, users have the right to know what you are planning to do about this ridiculous situation. Or is your philosophy "Ignore them, and they will go away". The risk you take with this approach is that they will literally do just that, and migrate to another software platform.

I will add my voice to the numerous others here who have no use for Copilot. I figured out how to turn it off in Word, but not in the desktop version of Outlook.

I don't need it, I don't want it, and I resent having it forced upon me. I agree with others who stated that customers should have had a choice about whether to add Copilot to their subscription and not had it crammed down their throats. Its in my way. I'm an intelligent human being and I don't need "help" to write an email. Its insulting and extraneous. There should be a very easy, straightforward way to simply turn it off in all Microsoft programs and apps. Instead we are all spending our valuable time and energy searching for a solution to a problem that shouldn't have been created in the first place.

If there is no response to user concerns by Microsoft, I too will be seeking other options before my subscription comes due in Dec. 2025. This is a case of technology getting so smart that human beings are dumbed down. Before you know it, young people won't be able to write a paragraph without "help" from AI. Just because its technologically possible, doesn't make it a good thing.

Perhaps AI can be helpful in some ways, but I've lived 73 years thus far and I was doing just fine without it. Yet when I was an academic librarian we had students coming into the library who couldn't figure out how to use a copy machine when there were visuals of how to do it on the machine. I found that pitiful. No problem solving ability at all. This is the damage that too much reliance on technology and smart devices is causing.

We NEED to be able to get rid of CoPilot in the web mail. It seems to be messing with my email draft content and nothing can fix it. Please remove it asap.

Really? How did you manage?

I still have the CoPilot button on the top right and the "Summary by CoPilot" when replying to an email...
