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!

    I just turned off Copilot by clicking on my account email in outlook and clicking through to get to privacy settings. you can choose to turn off products that analyze content. I had to scroll down to find. It does not say Copilot but that is what Copilot does.

    it took it off my outlook Yeah ! Microsoft doing for AI points **** that no one needs if you went to school and learned how to write. Just another way to collect data that you will have to pay for in the future.

    turn off if you can. only for beginners who cant type an email.

    Microsoft has hundreds of millions of paying customers around the world. Its CEO laughs when a few indignant customers like you do not renew their subscriptions. Microsoft is way too big, too rich and too powerful for its own good. Unlike AT&T in 1982, which divested itself of all the local Bell Telephone companies it owned, and despite the huge fines they have imposed on Microsoft (1.6 billion Euros in the E.U. alone), the competition authorities in the U.S. and E.U. have not been able to break Microsoft down into smaller competing companies, This company is more powerful than many governments. It is a sad commentary on the distribution of wealth and power in our world.

    The 'Enable Copilot' option in Word has changed to 'Collapse Copilot summary automatically'. So far from extending the Copilot turnoff switch to Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint, Microsoft has actually disappeared it from Word.

    Referting to Classic Office is now the only way.

    Unfortunately, it's not working for Office 365 on Mac. But thanks for the reply.
