(Updated) Microsoft Copilot Chat: AI disclaimer updates [MC1181766]

Message ID: MC1181766 (Updated)

Updated November 3, 2025: We have updated this message to clarify the new experience and to clarify that the AI disclaimer will always be visible

[Introduction:]

We’re updating the AI Disclaimer experience in Microsoft Copilot Chat based on customer feedback. To address this, we’re introducing an admin control that allows 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 on desktop and web experiences.

What will happen:

  • The AI disclaimer will remain visible in the user experience.
  • Admins will gain the ability to heighten this message and to provide a link to their own documentation:
    • The disclaimer will display bolded text for increased visibility.
    • Admins can configure a custom URL pointing to their AI policy documentation.

[What you can do to prepare:]

  • Review the new AI Disclaimer setting in the Admin Portal once available.
  • Decide whether you want to configure this setting for your organization.
  • If desired, prepare a custom URL to include in the UX.
  • Communicate this change to your helpdesk staff and Copilot users.
  • Update internal documentation if you reference the disclaimer experience.
