Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled

Control whether Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat shows in the Microsoft Edge for Business toolbar

Supported versions

  • On Windows and macOS since 139 or later

Description

For users in an Entra ID Microsoft Edge profile, this policy controls whether the Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat icon will be shown in the Microsoft Edge for Business toolbar for Microsoft 365 Copilot licensed and unlicensed users.

This policy only applies when users are accessing Copilot in the sidepane.

If the policy is enabled: Copilot will appear in the toolbar.

If the policy is disabled: Copilot won't appear in the toolbar.

If the policy isn't configured: Otherwise, Copilot shows in the toolbar and users may enable or disable Copilot from showing by using the Show Copilot toggle in settings.

When both this policy and HubsSidebarEnabled are configured, this policy takes precedence in determining whether Copilot appears in the toolbar. If this policy isn't configured and HubsSidebarEnabled is disabled, Copilot will remain hidden. In a future release, this policy is the sole control for managing Copilot's visibility in the toolbar.
