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

I posted this earlier—and I'm working in a Mac, so things may be different in your PC, but basically you have three options: you can (1) purchase and download Office 2021 and unsubscribe from Office 365, (2) you can disable Copilot within Office 365, or (3) revert your Office 365 subscription to "classic" no-AI-enabled version.

To disable Copilot on a PC while retaining the current Office 365 subscription, you're going to go into Settings, click Personalization, go into Taskbar, and you will find a switch to toggle Copilot off there. Just be aware that with this method, you're going to be paying $30 more for the option of using Copilot, which will remain active im your subscription.

To obtain the "classic" version, you're going to log into your Microsoft account, navigate to the Subscriptions menu, and tell Microsoft you wish to cancel your Office 365 subscription. This will trigger Microsoft to give you options for AI-enabled (Copilot) OR AI-disabled ("classic") Office 365. Select the latter and your "classic" subscription sans Copilot will be initiated. Note that the Copilot icon will still appear in the top menu when you open Word etc., but it will be grayed out.

MICROSOFT - get you Q#$% together on this - we don't like change, we don't like change, we don't like change. Remove Co Pilot from Word OR let us turn it off -

Very annoying - is this part of the China issue you are having ?

Please, please can you tell me how to stop Copilot icon appearing everywhere: Notes, Word emails....
I have followed the step but there is nothing on that page mentioning the word Copilot.

This is driving me nuts. I did not request it and I do not want it.

Can you point to a way of totally removing it from our PC. We have office 365 and this is affecting my husband too. He is not as PC literate as me and is finding this very distracting and wholly unwanted.

Thank you for your help and assistance.

Yours, desparately, Anna

Are you sober now?

Bit late in the piece to be broadcasting your ignorance Robert Watts3 - it's six months since this was posted. Hundreds of constructive replies later Microsoft has even taken some notice - no thanks to you.

Might have paid to look beyond the end of your nose before so blithely disparaging a genuine contribution to such a long and convoluted discussion.

HI there - sorry my instructions can't help you. If you're missing an OPTIONS button on a PC, it could mean that you need to do a software update. But again, can't help you beyond that. I'm a Mac gal.
