The Microsoft 365 Copilot app will no longer use the "Pin Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat" setting to control chat visibility for unlicensed users. Blocked users see Chat in navigation but remain restricted, while ineligible users won’t see Chat and get a pop-up if accessing it directly. Rollout is late Jan–Mar 2026. No admin action required.
