Microsoft Copilot

Bring the work AI account you already have and compare it using uploaded material.

Included with Microsoft 365Browser only

What you need

Use your eligible work Microsoft 365 account at m365copilot.com. See the official Microsoft plan page to check current licensing and capabilities.

Open m365copilot.com in a browser and sign in with your work account.
Read the in-product label: M365 Copilot (Premium) indicates the paid add-on; M365 Copilot (Basic) or Copilot Chat (Basic) indicates the basic work experience.
Upload a harmless test file and confirm the chat can use it.
Ask one question that requires the uploaded file and one that requires a web result.

Copilot Chat is included with eligible Microsoft 365 subscriptions, but it is web-grounded only. It cannot read your own mail, SharePoint or OneDrive content without the broader Microsoft 365 Copilot capability.
Uploading or pasting a document works in the basic experience, so use that route when you need the chat to work with your own material.
Do not use the Windows taskbar route for a commercial work account. Use m365copilot.com. IT can disable Copilot or web search at tenant level.

If Copilot is missing, ask IT whether it is disabled under Integrated Apps for your tenant.
If it has no web results, ask whether optional connected experiences or web search have been disabled.
If it is still blocked, ask IT to test your account at m365copilot.com.
