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!

    Hi

    I've got a 365 personal subscription, two weeks ago Copilot appeared in Outlook and intrudes itself into every email I write. I use Outlook for work.

    I've got a MacBook Air with Monterey.

    Please can anyone help me get Copilot out of Outlook?

    And am I right that Microsoft has not given us a solution?

    Many thanks to the person who can wave a magic wand!

    I think this solution only works for PC users. For those of us on Macs, there is not OPTIONS button. I have already disabled the function on a Mac about "connected experiences." Copilot is still there. Microsoft has done a TERRIBLE job on this roll-out / forcible insertion of this AI tool in the Microsoft Office suite. Mac users are getting the worst of it.

    This Copilot invasion of MY computer is ENRAGING.
    There seems to be NO WAY of removing it from Excel.

    I will now be advising all those who come to me for IT advice (and several do) to AVOID Microsoft Office.

    I have been working on this for days now. From what I can tell, you have to switch your plan from your current plan to a plan that has the word CLASSIC in it., i.e., Microsoft 365 Personal Classic. The problem is that when you get into your account to switch over NOW, their system is saying that the switchover will take place whenever your plan renews which could be a year from now. My understanding is that you have to get to a live person at Microsoft and have them help you make the switch now vs. later.
