Copilot button in Edge - Location of GPO setting to turn it on?

[IT_Man_Dan]

Morning all,

 

I want the Copilot button to appear in top right corner of edge browser for staff users.

Currently, within Edge if a staff user goes to Settings>Sidebar> Copilot the 'show copilot button on the toolbar' and 'allow copilot to use page content' buttons are greyed out and managed by administrator. - Anyone able to point me straight to the GPO setting to change this please?

 

I've enabled 'Show Hubs sidebar' GPO setting so far and I'm now just about to start investigating further.

TBF I haven't gone through my edge GPO with a fine tooth comb yet but am wondering if someone can just point me to the correct setting.

I wonder if I need new admx update.

 

As always, thanks in advance.

Check this one

 

User > Administrative Policies > Windows Components > Windows CoPilot > "Turn off Windows CoPilot" - check if this is enabled/disabled

 

If the hub sidebar is showing, you should see the Copilot icon

 

Also worth checking 365 Admin > Microsoft Edge setings to see if there are any configurations in there

Thanks for reply. Nope, haven't turned copilot off for staff.

 

No configs in 365 admin that I can see.

 

Weird, I shall investigate further.

I think I'm onto something.

Found this article: https://www.anoopcnair.com/intune-enable-copilot-in-managed-microsoft-edge/#:~:text=Users%20can%20modify%20permissions%20by,behaviour%20using%20group%20policy%20settings.

the info is for intune but I think it's relevent.

 

We currently restrict what extensions can be installed to edge etc.

 

The article states that you need to add two values to the "Extension/App IDs and update URLs to be silently installed" setting.

These are:

I shall try it on a test gpo when I get chance over next couple of days and confirm if it solved it for me.

To confirm, this resolved my issue.
