How do I stop Copilot from adding to my Outlook?

Exact. Same. Thing. Happening. Here. Our company does not have an organizational setting that is pushing it. It's all Microsoft. Our tech guys said this to me:  

"These AI integrations have been a pain in the neck and I know it's not just Microsoft. Google had forced Gemini to all of their products as well and they make it impossible to remove the feature because they really want it to get used. I conducted some extensive research on this issue and, unfortunately, there does not appear to be any way to permanently remove Copilot from the Microsoft 365 apps for Enterprise. I can't even find any controls in the Admin center to at least disable the feature for users. The best solution I have found next to continuously uninstalling the feature is to browse to the following location in any M365 app:
 
-File
-Office Account
-Account Privacy
-Manage Settings
-Uncheck "Turn on option connected experiences"
 
This supposedly prevents Copilot from working, but also disables other connected experiences that you can learn more about here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365-apps/privacy/optional-connected-experiences
 
Hopefully enough people will complain and Microsoft will give us a way to completely disable Copilot for people that do not wish to use it or quit forcing the feature to reinstall after a period of time."
