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 have the same issue but with my excel spreadsheet. Opened it up today and there was a stupid copilot pop up in my excel doc. I want it gone. My data is mine, nobody else's!!!
Totally agree. For Microsoft to insert their AI into our documents without our knowledge or consent is outrageous - and an invasion of privacy. And isn't it "interesting" that Microsoft techs give advice for how to remove copilot from our applications - and their instructions don't work. I'm about ready to contact my Senator about this.
When you say File / Options do you mean in the Word app ? or ?
I have no such option in word or copilot on my Mac.
I cancelled the subscription switching to the "classic" plan with NO AI. However, I still cannot get rid of Copilot from my apps. "Customizing the ribbon" doesn't work.
Any tricks? This is personal use so I am not tied to it like I am at work.
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!
