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

    Thank you. The way Copilot constantly insinuates itself is incredibly annoying and intrusive. Why not keep a Copilot button as an option but without it getting in the way everywhere?

    Note for Microsoft Team

    Do you not remember the Clippy debacle?? Seems you don't learn from your past mistakes.

    It's pretty simple really - provide an option to disable Copilot from the UI. Period.

    The fact that it's placing a highly distracting and somewhat "Needy" [Draft With Copilot] in front of your cursor while trying to write an email is highly unprofessional.

    Honestly I'll just switch to Gmail or Zoho mail if you don't change this soon and it looks like others will too.

    Like so many others here, I agree 100%.

    Copilot is an obtrusive hinderance, and reduces productivity.
    Microsoft urgently needs to take action on this.
