📢 Official Microsoft Message Center Announcement
(Updated) Microsoft 365 Copilot app: Branded footer customization
Message ID: MC1238432 (Updated)
Updated September 17, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We’re introducing a new co-branding capability that will allow organizations to display a branded footer at the bottom of the Chat screen in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. This update will enable admins to add their organization’s logo to their users’ Microsoft 365 Copilot app, helping users confirm they are using their trusted, work-managed Copilot experience.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 555852.
[When this will happen]
- General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out August 2026 (previously mid-July) and is expected to complete by mid-September 2026 (previously end of July).
[How this will affect your organization]
Who is affected
- All Microsoft 365 tenants using the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
What will happen
- Admins will be able to upload a logo in the Microsoft 365 admin center to customize the footer in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
- The footer will use the same logo configured in your organization’s theme for other Microsoft 365 apps. Only the logo will be used; other theme settings will not apply in this release.
- Admins can choose a footer label: Approved by, Provided by, or Managed by. Selecting No label will display the logo without a label.
- This feature will be off by default and will require admin configuration.
- There will be no user impact unless an admin enables the footer.
[What you can do to prepare]
No action will be required unless you want to enable the branded footer.
Admins who want to configure this feature should:
- In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Org settings > Custom theme and open your default theme.
- Confirm that your organization’s logo is configured in the Logos tab. This is the same logo used for your organization’s branding in other Microsoft 365 apps.
- Open the Copilot Chat tab and select Add your brand to Copilot Chat footer area.
- In the Footer style dropdown, choose No label, Approved by, Provided by, or Managed by.
- Save your changes to display your logo in the branded footer in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
Please note: The footer currently uses your organization’s default theme and applies to all users. Targeting different logos to specific user groups will be supported in a later update.
