Updated July 18, 2025: We've revised the timeline below and broadened the audience to help ensure all customers are informed of the change. We appreciate your continued patience. Based on your feedback, we're simplifying the behavior of Copilot Chat in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. This change only impacts users without a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Today, the Pin Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat admin setting controls Copilot Chat entry points in Microsoft 365 apps, including the Microsoft 365 Copilot app across web, mobile, and desktop. Pinning is off by default, but users may be prompted to pin. We have heard from customers that this default experience creates confusion in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Users expect to see Copilot Chat but don't know how to find it. To solve this, we are removing the Microsoft 365 Copilot app from the scope of the pinning setting. Instead, Chat will appear as the default module. Setting before and after this change: |
