What will happen:
- The AI disclaimer will remain visible in the user experience.

[Introduction:]
We’re updating the AI Disclaimer experience in Microsoft Copilot Chat based on customer feedback. Some users found the disclaimer too distracting, while others felt it was too subtle. To address this, we’re introducing admin controls that allow organizations to customize how the disclaimer appears, improving user awareness and flexibility.
[When this will happen:]
Rollout will begin in late November 2025 and complete by:
- Worldwide & GCC: Early December 2025
- GCC High & DoD: Mid-December 2025
[How this affects your organization:]
Who is affected: All users of Microsoft Copilot Chat across all endpoints.
What will happen:
- The AI Disclaimer below the Input Box will be OFF by default.
- Admins will have a new toggle to enable the disclaimer.
- If enabled:
- The disclaimer will display bolded text for increased visibility.
- Admins can configure a custom URL or use the default link to Microsoft documentation.
- Both Starter and Premium users can see the Input Box and the AI Disclaimer (if enabled), so a Copilot license is not explicitly required for visibility.
- If enabled:
Screenshot 1 and 2: The top image shows the default experience with no AI Disclaimer visible. The bottom image shows the AI Disclaimer with Heightened Awareness enabled by the admin. 
[What you can do to prepare:]

- Decide whether to enable the disclaimer for your organization.
- If enabling, prepare a custom URL to include in the UX.
- Communicate this change to helpdesk staff and Copilot users.
