In my outlook app on iPhone as well as in de desktop version of Outlook there is a pop-up of Copilot 'summary' on EVERY email I open.
It's annoying the **** out of me and I want to get rid of this ai-function that I never asked for.
I have Microsoft 365 family.
In settings on the app as well as desktop version there is nothing to be found to remove this.
Where do I get rid of this **** function?

Outlook | MacOS | New Outlook for Mac | For business

    I'm using the Outlook desktop programme and suddenly this morning the Copilot icon has appeared on the top right of the ribbon. I can't switch it off, find it in the settings to remove it and the only thing I can find online are people suffering the same problem and no solution.

    Thank you! This worked! I hope these companies will soon figure out that customers HATE this kind of garbage. Why do they think anyone would want Artificial Idiot nonsense slowing down their productivity.

    I found the page, When I started the serendipitous downgrade process I had to first cancel my current subscription. Tapping cancel brought up a screen warning me by canceling I would lose my terabyte cloud data and other benefits of my current Microsoft Office which I’ve had for more than a decade. I have much more than just a decade of important files. How about some transparency in this whole bs operation Microsoft? A paragraph or so of what’s going to happen to including skydive. my decades of files and data I and my family thought permanent. IMHO Even the most micky mouse lowest AI form should be able to come up with better pro-active than MSFT customers are getting help in this “community”

    This annoying feature has started rolling out on the latest office build and we as an organization have no intention of using Copilot.

    Very much feels like Microsoft are doing their usual bullying technique of ramming this down our throats until we either cancel our account or end up using this unwanted feature.

    Surely someone at Microsoft has to realize that not everyone want's this AI junk in everything.

    I am on the family plan. I am the only one of the 4 of us that has the Copilot issue (for now). I don't want to change my plan for fear of disrupting the other 3. I was able to get rid of Copilot on Word, that was easy. It's just Outlook that seems impossible. And if I can get rid of it in Word, etc....why is it so hard to do it in Outlook? I'm so sick of AI being forced on us.

    Yeah, no kidding. I don't know why they wouldn't have an option to remove it or not use it. Seems like there wasn't enough thought put into this in the front end, obviously.
