Anonymous

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!

    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!

    The reason why is that Microsoft is trying to push its Copilot on us as long as it can. There are many AI websites and apps on the web and Copilot is facing very tough competition.

    You can disable Copilot in Word , PowerPoint and Excel by going to File > Options > Copilot then unchecking the box next to Enable Copilot and clicking OK. Access, Outlook, OneNote and Publisher do not yet have this option. Try to keep cool. Going crazy is not a strategy. The only way to fix this is to keep the pressure on Microsoft to do so.
