M365 mobile app and Copilot

Brass Contributor

Can someone please explain how Copilot option present in Microsoft 365 mobile app relates to Copilot for M365? We have currently disabled the web content plugin in Copilot settings and also disabled copilot for Bing, Edge and Windows via MS provided PS script but still Copilot option is available in the M365 mobile app. When i did some tests, I can copy paste the content from other Intune managed apps e.g. from Outlook to this Copilot prompt in M365 app (which is also Intune managed) and the other way around also. Ideally this copy paste content should be possible because both the apps (M365 app and Outlook app) are organization managed but if we look at Copilot there, then its not the Copilot for M365 isn't it? It shows the icon of Commercial Data Protection in chat interface and also it does not search the data from organization resources. So can we somehow disable this Copilot option in M365 app or block copy paste data from other Intune managed apps? Any ideas or views on this?

Copilot in the Microsoft 365 Mobile App is identical to the experience that you would get when navigating to https://copilot.microsoft.com. When you have a Copilot for Microsoft 365 license, you would have the option to either select Work vs Web for if you want to retrieve data sources only from the Internet (Web), or your M365 tenant resources such as Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc. (Work)

When people access the Copilot option from within the Microsoft 365 app, they have authenticated with their EntraID therefore the interaction is covered under the Commerical Data Protection. I'm not sure about further disabling that feature within the Microsoft 365 app.

You wouldn't have Copilot in the Outlook app unless that user has a license.

Does that help some?

How can I disable Co-Pilot and why is it blocking access to my MS 365 Outlook email that I need for work? This is a huge problem because I need to be sending emails and can't.  Educated people should not need any of this, or at least not to have it interfere with access to our emails.@JaredMatfess
