    Hello urvi rathod

    Thank you for reaching out and informed us about the situation, I understand that Copilot on Word is currently not working and you've performed some troubleshooting steps already, please try this next:

    1. Check Word's privacy settings
    • Copilot requires connected experiences to be enabled.
    • Open Word > File > Account > Account Privacy > Manage Settings, make sure the following are enabled:
      • Experiences that analyze your content
      • All connected experiences
    • Close and reopen Word to test
    1. Repair Microsoft Office 365:
    • Please check this article here on how to Repair an Office application The article only covers for Windows device, if you're using a different device OS (MacOS, Android,..) please do let me know
    1. Run the Copilot troubleshooter tools:

    In case you're using a different type of account (work/school) or using a business license, please also let me know so I can provide further support.
