    Hi Thomas - please can you repeat this for all other Microsoft apps - I am writing emails in Outlook, Teams messages, Excel, etc and Copilot is so intrusive, it actually takes my typing away from that app I was using and starts typing into the Copilot app. I am trying to work here...

    Thanks!

    This feature is currently unavailable for any application except Word, but the word is that the developers of the other applications are working on a fix.

    I do not have this option. I only have "collapse copilot summary automatically". I do not want the bubbles on the screen above my document. This is spam for my screen.

    And... you do not have the pro version of Copilot?

    I also have "collapse copilot summary automatically" but have to click on it to momentarily remove it. I originally subscribed to Microsoft Office online years ago and my subscription is automatically renewed every year. I am upgraded to all iprovements that Microsoft THINKS I NEED. I waste so much time uninstalling (or TRYING to uninstall) most of their upgrades to the point where I think I have to cancel Microsoft 365 to escape these annoyances!
