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

    Thank you!

    The second link is working where the $99 option is now available for "Microsoft 365 Personal" for one person and up to five machines. I had the family plan before, apparently, the 666 Plan for six people on six machines for six months X 2, for some reason. Somebody knows something.

    Ding, dong, the wicked Co-Pilot is dead! With a Co-Pilot like that, well, hell, you know the rest of the story, "cast out of ***sy Heaven."

    This is the closing message:

    "When your current subscription renews, it will switch from Microsoft 365 Family to Microsoft 365 Personal."

    They even add another level of mind games and gaslighting, by disabling the option to renew "without AI" or Copilot after first offering it for $99 annual (classic package). If you do not select the option the first time it's offered after cancellation, the option is removed for a future renewal.

    In other words, there is no renewal option offered "without AI" if it is not accepted immediately. This adds insult to injury.

    Of course, cancellation does not remove the pesky paperclip resurrection like a Terminator that comes back without your permission. (I know, I know, he said, "I'll be back.")

    This will require another call to Rajeet (makes $1 per hour) in their Indian tech support, simply to get the original offer back again ($99 annual) without any sides of AI mutton curry if we sheep are lucky!

    Doesn't really help for a subscription that auto-renewed. They slid the "features" in and canceling it doesn't do anything until the term expires.

    "Sorry for any inconvenience caused to your life."

    I sincerely suggest you introspect and leave out the snark.
