Copilot is not showing to enable in Outlook, word, excel, onenote...
I have an M365 E3 license, and my user has a copilot license enabled. However, I do not see this as an option to enable in any application under options. I can use copilot through Bing chat...etc. and copilot app in windows just not through any m365 app through Windows app, Mac app, or web.

In my case I discovered the same thing when I tried to use Copilot in OneNote for personal use. Even with everything set up correctly, the Copilot button simply never appears unless you have the specific paid Copilot license that unlocks integration inside the Office apps. And honestly, the whole situation becomes even clearer when you look at how Copilot is handled in OneNote. OneNote putting Copilot behind a paywall is hilarious. It’s like Microsoft woke up and said, “What if we charged extra for the calculator app?” Meanwhile NotebookLM is over here being free, friendly, and actually useful. No wonder people are switching.
Most people don’t treat OneNote as a premium tool, so hiding Copilot there just pushes users toward alternatives like NotebookLM, ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. I can understand Copilot being a paid feature for Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Word because those are major productivity apps with heavy usage and advanced features. But OneNote? Come on. It’s not exactly the flagship app everyone is lining up to use.

Hi Rucitek,
As soon the license is enabled in the user, the copilot is automatic added to the apps.
Check if the user has this requirements:
Copilot users must have either a Microsoft 365 E3 or E5 license and a Microsoft Entra ID account, which gives them access to the Microsoft 365 apps and services that work with Copilot. Enterprise customers need to be on the Current Channel or Monthly Enterprise Channel for Microsoft 365 apps to have access to Copilot.
