How to disable copilot on microsoft office (excel, word, ppt) on Macbook

Hi Hannah,

I am in complete agreement with all the respondents to this post.

Your 'fix' does not work. It obviously never did and months later, it still doesn't. The ultimate insult though - the only 'option' available to 'manage' Copilot in Services and Subscriptions - upgrade to Pro and pay for the priviledge!

I have only experienced CoPilot forcing itself, unbidden, into my every edit, for one morning. Two hours later - I hate it enough to post a reply to this forum, something I have never even contemplated doing before in my life.

Come on Microsoft, far from increasing productivity CoPilot is intruding, frustrating and summarily detracting from it! I'm not against AI per say, I bought a CoPilot PC for goodness sake! I thought I would still be in charge?

Given a choice we might even get to like it?

I literally have spent the past 2 hours trying to get rid of this to no avail and the reply posted is wrong. Like others have said there's no option to disable it and from the sounds of things I don't think it properly even does it, rather just hides it.

I'm so so tired of this ai stuff that essentially does nothing. Frankly, it disgusts me that there is no option to get rid of it this late in development and at the time of release and its incredibly embarrassing and invasive. There's more I can say, but I also understand the moderator isn't directly responsible for this issue.

Regardless, the company needs to take responsibility for the issues this can cause in the long run, especially where plagiarism is concerned for serious matters like mentioned by others. This needs to be addressed immediately and revised because from the sounds of things its causing far more harm than good.

I am in the same situation. I am trying to write a thesis in Word and cannot get rid of the huge Copilot logo in the left-hand margin which moves down with every strike of the return button.

It is absolutely infuriating.

Please give an option to turn this stupid thing off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm jumping on this bandwagon, too.

Do not want this. Did not ask for it. Want it GONE.

Went to Microsoft account to disable it, and it's only showing where I can ADD it to apps. No option to disable.

I'll be jumping SHIP if this BS can't be removed.

Quick fix or I'm out.

The paper clip lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on Microsoft do better than this!
