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

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
It's just impossible to find where (if possible?) Copilot can be turned of in my Microsoft 365 Personal pack...
Can someone of the technical service of Outlook please do this for me?
That Copilot pop up drives me mad really...
Agreed.
I was able to turn copilot off in the installed Word app, so why not be able to turn it off in the outlook web interface?
I had it create a summary of a junk email, then gave it a thumb down rating. When asked for a comment about what went wrong I entered the following:
Copilot went wrong. Why is there NO way to turn off this offensive intrusion? I really don't want it. All worked well before Copilot - why is it that I am now considered a needy subscriber by Microsoft?
With assistants like copilot it becomes extremely clear how much of our communications are not private, but are being viewed, reviewed, and monitored.
Did someone say... 'Big Brother'.
This is really a terrible direction Microsoft is going to because its a terrible solution !!!
Thinking of ending my Family account because Microsoft is also refusing to install Office on a little older Macbook Pro with still INTEL I7
Thank you for explaining. This worked perfectly.
Dear Stan, I have exactly the same issue using the Microsoft 365 Family subscription, so I feel permitted to answer your question:
On step three, there is no option to switch or downgrade to Classic plans. Instead, I have only either the button "Switch plan" for Microsoft 365 Personal (which is not what I need), or the button "I don't want my subscription" (which I'm afraid to click, because I could lose my data).
Can you please clarify internally why I don't see the Classic plans offered?
I had this and spent ages on with MS support so I will post this here for ease for people looking for this:
You have to go to Cancel Subscription - not Manage Subscription. it will offer you 2 free months and also underneath it should give you the option to downgrade to either Microsoft Family Classic at £7.99 per month, or to a Personal plan.
I agree, this Copilot is intrusive and maybe had it been implemented in a better way, I may have taken it up. However, the enforced price hike for something I didn't ask for along with it pushing Copilot in front of my cursor while I type is vulgar at best and my immediate reaction is to terminate it. Same with auto-suggestions. I know how to type, and what I'm typing - leave me alone Microsoft. /rant
