Manage how your organization interacts with Copilot in Bing, Microsoft Edge, and Windows

To turn on or turn off Copilot for Microsoft 365 in Bing, Edge, and Windows, follow these steps:

    • To get the current status of Copilot for Microsoft 365 in Bing, Edge, and Windows in your tenant, run: '.\ConfigureM365Copilot.ps1'
