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 go to CoPilot and it doesn't give me the option to disable. So still no go. but good idea for those with the option.

    I literally do not want it anywhere on my computer, not even disabled. It should be an APP you can download or not just like any other. I don't have most of the apps downloaded because I do not use them.

    I found the solution thanks to a post in a different MSFT forum:

    "if you go to the FILE menu, OPTIONS, COPILOT and the DISABLE COPILOT it should go away."

    This worked for me. What a relief.

    I'm a teacher. I'm teaching a first-year college writing. My students have MS word accounts via our university & now the temptation to use this cancer is just there without them even having to seek it out? It's just hovering there CONSTANTLY? I thought we were doomed already. Now MSWord is just shoveling dirt on the grave.

    And when you log into your MS account there isn't a Services & Subscription tab. It's just subscription. I don't have Copilot, I never demoed it & yet there it is.
