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!

Brilliant! This saves me from having to chuck my PC at the wall.
Thank you!
Please provide a capability and instructions for removing Copilot (and the ever-present icon) from Word on my Mac. I do not want to use Copilot, and the icon is very annoying. I've been using MS Office products for decades now and find this to be the most unwanted and irritating function you've ever introduced. Common courtesy would suggest that you should let people opt-in to use Copilot and not force it onto our user experience. If you're going to set it as a default, you should at least provide an easy way within the software to turn it off.
There is no copilot option (windows 10) in File-Options anywhere for me. I had already checked 3 times before this, going through every single tab of option, but I looked for a 4th time based on both posts on this above. Isn't there. "Copilot" does not show anywhere.
I have not had any indication of an update downloaded. My last update was 7 November. There is a cumulative update pending since 14 January.
Of course, like my phone, I have no doubt that they continually create issues to get you to update. All about control.
Hi!
I recently figured out how to turn Copilot off in Word (talk about annoying!)
In Word navigate to File > Options > Copilot > Uncheck box next to enable Copilot.
Viola!
Your instructions did not work - and the interface in your screenshot isn't the same. I never authorized this ridiculous, invasive **** functionality. Make it easy to turn it off. Your instructions don't make sense.
