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. You'll also learn how to confirm whether your organization is on an Enterprise M365 plan. What's covered: Why was identifying Copilot license types confusing before this update Where the new "Premium" and "Basic" labels appear in the Copilot interface How to check license status inside Microsoft 365 apps like Word How to confirm you're on an M365 Enterprise plan This is especially useful for IT admins and team leads managing a mix of licensed and free Copilot users within the same organization.
