Summary:
Microsoft will no longer pre-install the Visual Creator agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat starting mid-July 2025. Users can still generate images in Copilot Chat and use the Create experience for broader content creation. No admin action is required, but notifying users and updating documentation is recommended.

Details:
To streamline the content creation experience within Microsoft 365 Copilot and align with tenant-level policies, Microsoft will no longer pre-install Visual Creator agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.
Users will continue to be able to generate images directly in Copilot Chat. For broader content creation scenarios, we recommend using the Create experience in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. Create offers a comprehensive set of tools for generating and editing visual content for work, including images, posters, banners, and videos.

[When this will happen:]
This change will begin rolling mid-July, 2025 and is expected to complete by mid-July, 2025.
