I am using a Macbook Air, last week I tried the free trial of the copilot, but since I don't find it helpful, and even my word keeps on lagging, now I want to disable the copilot.

I have already tried to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft 365, and several tips on the internet, but none of them is working. The copilot is still there. and I find it so annoying.

Can someone help me to show me the way to disable the copilot, please?

Thank you!

    I've opened two support cases and neither was helpful. One just directed me to call the business sales line which you cannot speak to a human and they do not help with personal accounts.

    I have zero way to go to the classic family subscription and instead forced to use a subscription that I didn't consent to.

    So, I'm spending my day exporting all my stuff from OneDrive and will be cancelling, not only Office 365, but the multiple Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions I have as well. Fortunately, I switched OSs a long time ago, but if this is how Microsoft is going to engage with its customers, I won't be one.

    Same issue. Trying to remove or disable Copilot on a Mac - all the instructions given do not align with the actual UI of the System Preferences. Just give people a toggle to turn it off!

    When you say File / Options do you mean in the Word app ? or ?

    I have no such option in word or copilot on my Mac.
