Today I launched power point and there is this annoying copilot icon that covers the corner of my slide. You cant move it, you cant turn it off. How do I get rid of this.

Hi @JayC,
Thank you for your prompt response.
You can share the link of your feedback here in the comment of this post and I’ll be happy to upvote it to help bring more visibility.
In the meantime, I kindly ask if you can upvote this feedback as well Get rid of floating Copilot icon on bottom right of worksheets · Community. Although it's not a PowerPoint but Excel feedback, it's the same issue of frustration with the Copilot floating icon across Office apps. The more upvotes the feedback receives, the greater its visibility will be, which also increases the likelihood that the issue will be prioritized by Microsoft and the solution published as soon as possible.
I'm sure there are other users who have been in the same situation but don't know where to share their feedback, so hopefully you will click "Accept Answer" in this post if you can. This will help pin the post to the top, making it easier for other users who may be experiencing the same issue to find your post, understand the context, and support the feedback. Your voice matters, and collective feedback is one of the most effective ways to drive meaningful improvement.
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this process. I wish you a wonderful day ahead.
I would upvote but I get this:
pretty typical MSBS
Hi @JayC,
I'm really sorry for this inconvenience.
I just received the news that the Feedback Hub is experiencing instability and currently undergoing maintenance. I kindly hope you can remain patient a little longer and I will continue to monitor the status of the portal closely to inform as soon as it is fully restored and operational again.
Once again, I'm sincerely sorry for this inconvenience and I hope this Copilot icon concern will be reviewed and improved soon in an upcoming update.
Hi @JayC,
According to your concern, unfortunately there is no supported way to drag it somewhere else or make the Copilot floating button customizable. This icon will by default show up when you have Copilot license along with the Microsoft 365 subscription. You can hide it on the right scroll bar by right clicking the Copilot icon > Dock. The Copilot icon will be hidden like this:
If you want to completely remove it, the only supported option is to disable Copilot entirely by going to File > Options > Copilot > uncheck "Enable Copilot" refer to Turn off Copilot in Microsoft 365 apps - Microsoft Support. If the Enable Copilot option is not available, you may need to contact your internal help desk or your company IT department for further assistance, and they may need to unassign your Copilot license to remove this floating Copilot icon in the Microsoft 365 apps. If you don't know who your IT administrator is, please refer to this article: How do I find my Microsoft 365 admin? - Microsoft Support
I understand this may not be the answer you were hoping for. As a forum moderator who work independently of the product team, I don't have visibility into internal design decisions or the ability to adjust how the feature behaves. I can only help confirm how the product currently works and make sure you have clear information.
Many users have also reported the same frustration with the floating Copilot in Microsoft 365 desktop apps. If this is affecting your workflow or if you think this is an area that should be improved, I sincerely encourage you to submit suggestions directly to the team through the official PowerPoint feedback community: PowerPoint · Community. The product team doesn't actively monitor issues on this forum, so submitting feedback through official channels ensures that your input is truly communicated to them.
I greatly appreciate for taking your time bringing this up. I'm sure there are other users who have been in the same situation but don't know where to share their feedback, so hopefully you will click "Accept Answer" in this post if you can. This will help pin the post to the top, making it easier for other users who may be experiencing the same issue to find your post, understand the context, and support the feedback. Your voice matters, and collective feedback is one of the most effective ways to drive meaningful improvement.
If you have any concerns or questions in the future, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Not only will I be happy to assist you, but all moderators in the Q&A forum will also do their best to provide support and guidance.
Thank you for your kindness and contributions to the forum. Wishing you a great day ahead.

This is total bs. Its one thing to put it in the toolbar but to literally cover my work with a stupid copilot advertisement is so ridiculous.
Its covering very important information on my slide
on every slide it is covering important information

Hi @JayC,
I’m really sorry for the inconvenience this situation has caused you and I truly understand your frustration with this Copilot floating icon since I have also experienced the same issue with not only PowerPoint but other Office apps like Excel, Word as well. To prevent it from covering important information in your slides, as I mentioned in my initial response, you can right-click the icon and select Dock. It will not fully remove the floating icon, but it will minimize the icon to the scroll bar so it will not cover much information in your slides.
If you want to fully remove this floating icon, as said in my initial response there is unfortunately no available options or UI settings to customize/move/hide it. Since this seems heavily affecting your workflow, please submit your feedback directly to the Microsoft development team through the official PowerPoint feedback community: PowerPoint · Community. This will ensure that your input is truly communicated to them so the fix can be prioritized and released as soon as possible.
Just to clarify, I moderator do not have the ability to view or change internal design or adjust how the feature behaves. Even though I can't directly intervene, directing you to the correct, specialized support source is the most effective help I can provide from my position.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. I wish you a wonderful day ahead.
The issue is that I don't want to turn copilot off, I simply don't want it to obtrude into my workspace. This should be obvious to Microsoft developers or whatever AI they have running the show over there these days. I see that there is a way to make it smaller, but it is still very obtrusive.
Hi @JayC,
I truly understand your discomfort with this behavior since I have also experience it as it's covering multiple cells in the bottom right corner in Excel (I mainly use Excel for my daily workflow). You are not alone in this since many other users have already reported and sent feedback to Microsoft that they want to have an option to manage/customize the Copilot floating icon or at least hide it completely without disabling Copilot.
Microsoft is working their best to provide the most convenient experience for users in their daily workflow with more and more developments in Office apps. Based on that, Microsoft is listening and relies on user feedback for prioritizing features to provide better customer experience. Therefore, if this is an area that should be improved or you are not comfortable with any of the current function, I sincerely encourage you to submit suggestions directly to the team through the official PowerPoint feedback community: PowerPoint · Community. This will ensure that your input is truly communicated to them so the fix can be prioritized and released as soon as possible.
Just to clarify, I moderator do not have the ability to view or change internal design or adjust how the feature behaves. Even though I can't directly intervene, directing you to the correct, specialized support source is the most effective help I can provide from my position.
I really appreciate your time for sharing your experience and bringing up this important usability concern.
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out again. I'm happy to assist you further.
Have a nice day!
Thanks, I submitted a ticket on the Power Point community as well.
The in-document Copilot icon in Office apps is controlled by the Copilot feature in each app. To remove it from PowerPoint on Windows, turn off Copilot for that app, then make sure PowerPoint is updated to a build where the intrusive icon behavior has been fixed.
If the checkbox is not available, update PowerPoint to a version that includes the Enable Copilot control:
For similar in-document Copilot icons in Word, users have reported that installing an updated build (for example, 16.103.1 on the Current Channel (Preview)) removed the intrusive logo from the document window. Keeping Office on the latest build is therefore important after disabling Copilot.
If Copilot remains visible even after disabling it and updating, wait for the updated build to reach the update channel in use; the fix is delivered via Office updates rather than a separate setting.
