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!

Unable to get any contact with Msoft over this so my subscription now cancelled.
Is this for Mac users? I don't find the tab for Account in Word under File...
I think it's very important that all Microsoft users who're disadvantaged by this unreasonable and non-negotiable Copilot 'invasion' now take the matter outside of this Microsoft echo-chamber and complain to software reviewers, news outlets that have tech reviews etc, and other publications that might help broadcast this groundswell of user discontent. This is important because Microsoft have been given a lengthy opportunity to but have not heeded or replied sensibly to our complaints. I'm sure that there would be tech reporters who're interested in the topic:
'From late 2024 'Microsoft forces Office365 users in Australia, New Zealand, and some other countries (they're listed among the messages here) to use Microsoft AI / Copilot which reads users' confidential documents and intellectual property and places an unsolicited and unremovable icon in the document margins. This is an unacceptable breach of paid subscribers' privacy and copyright.' Many users such as academics, students, government employees, creative writers, and others CANNOT have AI involved with their work...'
Also, just a tip: each time you 'like' and rate a message on this community echo chamber that they've dumped us in, the Microsoft AI / algorithm etc (I don't know what to call it) probably considers the issue 'resolved' or at least 'helped'. I reckon (and I might be wrong) just write your message but don't rate or click stars etc.
I agree with you, I am just a regular user of Microsoft and I've been paying for a family subscription for years, I didn't even realise that there was a free option!
But as far as the copilot thing is concerned, I am done. I couldn't get any help from Microsoft at all.
I have changed to Libre Office - it's totally free and you can open any Microsoft documents with it.
