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!

    January 22 2025. The only reference to copilot is an offer to get copilot pro.

    I totally get it. This was such a major breach of customer trust that they will find it hard to recover. Based on how this was so poorly handled, I don't trust Microsoft as far as I can throw them. And I never will trust this company to do the right thing. EVER.

    I have repeatedly selected "file," then "options." But there is no "Copilot" anywhere.

    I don't want to disable it program by program because

    1. I don't trust it stay off
    2. Even if off I don't trust it not to scrape.

    I want this GONE as in an optional add in that people if they choose to feed the planet killing machine can do so, but the rest of us with a conscience and understanding of copyright law do not have to deal with it.

    These instructions work for people using PCs. The instructions did not work for Mac users, until today - when Microsoft released a software patch. There is now a way to disable Copilot on at Mac - at least in Word. Like you, I checked PowerPoint and Excel and there does not appear to be a way to disable Copilot on Excel or PowerPoint. Let's hope the Microsoft programmers attack that problem next.
