Microsoft Copilot Chat AI Disclaimer Update MC1181766-2

Message ID: MC1181766 (Updated)

Updated December 1, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.

[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 early December 2025 (previously late November) and complete by:

Worldwide & GCC: mid-December 2025 (previously early December)
GCC High & DoD: mid-January 2026 (previously 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.
