How to Tell If You Have Microsoft 365 Copilot Premium or Basic

Microsoft 365 Copilot now shows a clear label titled "Premium" or "Basic" in the bottom-left corner of the app, making it easy to tell users on Enterprise accounts whether they have a paid Copilot license and using the free version. The official apps are still called Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat (the free version) and Microsoft 365 Copilot (the paid version). The terms "Premium" and "Basic" are only UI indicators. In this tutorial, I walk you through exactly where to find this indicator in both the standalone Microsoft 365 Copilot app and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
