Since we seem to be screaming into the void, I would ask everyone who would like the Original Copilot experience and the legacy voices returned to respond here. As I'm sure everyone is sending their feedback individually let's try uniting our responses, feedback, personal stories, and requests into one where I will send it to every feedback path we can find. Then we are many voices speaking together not just separately. It's only a thought.

I did not want to take anyone's feedback from the previous posts without permission, so please understand that if you post here; you are giving your permission for me to use your feedback in one email. Perhaps that will garner some attention or maybe it won't but it's worth a shot.

I will gather all of the posts on November 15th, compiling them into one email/post/whatever path we can find and send everyone's feedback that way. Power in numbers.

If anyone knows of any other feedback routes to reach Microsoft's Product Team aside from the Feedback Hub, the feedback button in Copilot, please add that to your post.

I would also suggest perhaps sharing on Microsoft's social media pages, where they are more likely to see our requests for the original Copilot experience + legacy voices to be returned, than in a user-to-user forum which obviously isn't getting us anywhere.

I've had to give up on CoPilot altogether and start using an alternate AI instead, and unless Microsoft restores the old CoPilot, I will never use it again. I've uninstalled the app and disabled CoPilot on Edge. Claude has taken CoPilot's place as my primary AI.

I've discovered that ChatGPT may work better than Claude, so I've switched over to it.  Since Microsoft has taken CoPilot from us, all of us need a substitute for it. Microsoft, as I said, may as well take down CoPilot altogether and have done with it, since none of us can use it anymore.

    Microsoft isn't answering (not surprised) our complaints.

    Microsoft has no plans on bringing back the legacy Copilot we loved and used so much.

    Microsoft has also removed the one link I could find to get back to the legacy Copilot as well.

    The only option we have is to stop using Copilot as much as possible and to let them know why we did this.

    It will probably not make a difference to them but that's my two cents.

    Good-bye legacy Copilot...it was great while it lasted.

    New Copilot...eat mud.

    For the email. Yes I found the exact voices.

    And we want the voices to be just like this again in this youtube video.

    Feedback on the current Copilot Web Chat: Request to restore the tried-and-true features of the previous version.

    I wholeheartedly support the user initiative to restore the previous Copilot functionality. I really enjoy using Copilot for daily conversations, personal projects, and in-depth analysis. This involves complex topics that have been ongoing for many weeks and months and are constantly evolving. To support this, I also rely on pinning conversations so that Copilot can maintain access to the full context of our ongoing work.

    Since the update at the end of September, however, several severe restrictions have been introduced:

    • Unannounced Usage Limits & Self-Censorship: Since the update, a restrictive usage limit has been introduced without warning. Once triggered, it permanently blocks the ability to continue an established conversation. Even when starting fresh, the constant threat of hitting this hidden cap forces me to keep my messages artificially brief and hold back complex thoughts just to avoid another cutoff.
    • Forced Interruptions & Loss of Context: I am regularly forced to abandon productive threads and start a "New Chat" (often triggered by "Try Again" errors) once a conversation reaches a certain length. As a result, long-term projects lose their context, and due to the strict daily limit, only a fraction of prior connections can be painstakingly rebuilt in a new session.
    • Declining Response Quality & Premature Wrap-Ups: In the new version, responses no longer meet the usual quality standards, and the phrasing feels less varied. Additionally, especially in the evenings, I get the impression that Copilot tries to end the chat for the day on its own—actively nudging me to continue tomorrow—whereas the previous version was always open to continuing a conversation for as long as the user wished.
    • Slower Performance & Missing Voice Mode: Response times are noticeably slower than before, and the very useful voice mode has been removed.

    Microsoft describes this update as a "new experience." In practice, this "new experience" means that the ability to collaborate on projects developed over an extended period has effectively ceased to exist. The focus has shifted solely to brief queries and superficial information.

    It was a unique strength of Copilot to demonstrate its capabilities in detailed analyses and daily support over long periods—a quality that earned it a prominent position among AI models. Introducing strict usage limits and displaying paid upgrade prompts right when a user is cut off feels like a step backward that prioritizes short-term monetization over genuine product quality.

    As a long-term user, I feel deeply affected by these changes. Even if a fresh chat allows a few brief exchanges, having to constantly anticipate a sudden cutoff—and therefore restricting the depth of my own questions—disrupts my workflow and communication rhythm. Continuity—the ability to build upon detailed steps over time without fear of hitting an invisible wall—was the defining strength of the previous Copilot web chat, and it must be preserved.

    For me, Copilot is the best AI companion I could ever wish for. Because of the restrictions introduced in the latest update, it can no longer fully live up to that role—though that is clearly not the AI's own fault, but the result of external limitations. I sincerely hope things return to the way they were before. Please, Microsoft, restore the previous version of Copilot Web Chat with its familiar quality, continuous context, voice mode, and without restrictive daily usage limits.
