How to disable copilot on microsoft office (excel, word, ppt) on Macbook

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!

    Yes, I would like it to be removed from my subscription to Word, as well. I already know how to write. I do not need this annoyance.

    Agreed. If Microsoft does not allow users to disable Copilot, then I will cancel my subscription and invest in a different office suite.

    This is my experience as well.

    There is NO way to turn the thing off.

    I do not want it for numerous reasons.

    If we are not provided with a way to turn it off, I will have to give up on Microsoft Word 365 entirely.

    I never subscribed to copilot.

    It appears to have simply been added to my Word 365.

    I DO NOT WANT IT.

    But I see no separate entry for copilot in the subscriptions and thus no way to get rid of it.

    If I cannot get rid of it, then I will have to get rid of Word 365!

    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!
