Copilot working in Apps, but not available in Start menu

Hello,

I have received from our Microsoft Admins a M365 Copilot licensee. It works fine from the Apps (Word, Outlook, Excel). But I don't have the Copilot icon in my windows taskbar. In Windows Start Menu, I don't have Copilot either. So I believe I need to install the App on my laptop. But I cannot find any information how to install the App.

My objective is to have a direct access from the Taskbar

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help

    There isn't really a standalone app anymore for Copilot for work. 

    If you're using Microsoft Edge, you could install the chat as an app.

    1. Open Microsoft Edge
    2. Go to https://m365.cloud.microsoft/chat
    3. At the top right, select Settings and more (...)
    4. Select Apps
    5. Select Install this site as an app
    6. Rename the app if you want select Install
    7. Check the options you want (e.g. Allow this app to Pin to taskbar) then select Allow (you may need to approve it being pinned to your taskbar)
