The new Copilot UI in the Browser is not respecting the Allow web search in Copilot policy for controlling web search in the Work tab in Copilot.

 

Our organization has the Allow web search in Copilot policy set to Disabled in Microsoft 365 Copilot Work mode; Enabled in Microsoft 365 Copilot Web mode and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.

We are seeing that the web toggle is on by default in the new Copilot UI in the Browser, While The Copilot app in Teams is still respecting the policy and has the web toggle disabled with no option to turn it on. I assume this is a bug in the Copilot UI.
