Updated August 3, 2026: We have updated the timeline and content. Thank you for your patience. 

[Introduction]

We’re introducing a new co-branding capability that will allow organizations to display a branded footer at the bottom of the Chat screen in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app. This update will enable admins to add their organization’s logo to their users’ Microsoft 365 Copilot app, helping users confirm they are using their trusted, work-managed Copilot experience.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 555852.

[When this will happen]

• General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out August 2026 (previously mid-July) and is expected to complete by mid-September 2026 (previously end of July).

[How this will affect your organization]

Who is affected

• All Microsoft 365 tenants using the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.

What will happen

• Admins will be able to upload a logo in the Microsoft 365 admin center to customize the footer in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.
• The footer will display an “Approved by [Logo]” indicator to help users confirm they are in an organization-approved Copilot environment: 

  

• Only the logo from your organization’s theme configuration will be used; other theme elements will not be applied in this release.
• This feature will be off by default and will require admin configuration.
• There will be no user impact unless an admin enables the footer.

[What you can do to prepare]

No action will be required unless you want to enable the branded footer.

Admins who want to configure this feature should:

• In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Org settings > Custom Themes.
• On your default theme, open the Logos tab and upload your logo (or provide a logo link). Only the default theme supports uploading an image or setting a link; additional themes accept a logo URL only.
• Save. Once rollout begins, the branded footer displays your logo in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app.

Please note: The footer currently uses your organization’s default theme and applies to all users. Targeting different logos to specific user groups will be supported in a later update.
