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!

That's great except that I have no Outlook email account and do't intend to get one.
I may just start using Mac Pages.
Or we could all use the Copilot off switch that just made its appearance in Excel and PowerPoint (Word already had it). Let's hope OneNote and Outlook are next!.

Thanks! That’s good news. For those amongst us who do not know what you mean by “use the Copilot off switch” here is a step-by-step guide: in Excel or PowerPoint, click File > Options > Copilot, uncheck the box next to Enable Copilot (application restart required) and click OK. Restart the app and you are free at last. If Copilot does not appear under Options you need to update your Office suite.
Seems like my version of Excel (16.94 for Mac), still does not have a way to turn off CoPilot. Yes, I just updated the app. Just updated version of PowerPoint lets me turn off CoPilot though, not sure why Microsoft isn't adding this feature to all programs at once but we're getting there!
