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

    Microsoft don't allow you to cancel copilot in the WEB interface or Mobile apps. Your only choice is to use a third-party mail client or switch to another online mail provider!

    My advice is to vote with your feen and go elsewhere for mail. You can configure outlook to forward all mail to a new mail account.

    Come on Microsoft give us back control!

    Hi Boian Soloviov,

    I am not an expert in Microsoft 365 subscriptions, but I focus on providing technical support. The solutions I provide are all from Microsoft support articles that are publicly available on the Internet.

    If you cannot downgrade your subscription to a version without copilot according to the instructions in the article, please contact online support: steps mentioned in the first reply of this post Remove Copilot - Microsoft Community

    Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, I am here to help you further if needed.

    Best Wishes,

    I, too, have spent DOZENS OF HOURS attempting to remove Copilot and searching online and trying all sorts of settings, in addition to being unable to open week after week of emails from childrens' teachers when they include attachments because of it. I, TOO, PAY FOR THE EXPENSIVE UPGRADE AND CAN FIND NO WAY TO DOWNGRADE IT WITHOUT LOSING. ENOUGH! What is the answer? WE do not want AI in our email, NOR DOES IT EVEN WORK! Please. Thank you.

    I can't understand why Microsoft is forcing it's customers to leave them. Reminiscent of BudLight
