Microsoft 365 Copilot: Retirement of Visual Creator Agent in Copilot Chat
Microsoft 365 Copilot will retire the Visual Creator agent in Copilot Chat by late July 2025. Users can continue generating images in Copilot Chat and use the Create module in Microsoft 365 Copilot for broader content creation. No admin action is required, but users should be informed about this change. Update: As part of our continued investment in simplifying and strengthening the content creation experience, we’re consolidating content creation capabilities in Microsoft 365 Copilot. Starting mid-July 2025, the Visual Creator agent will no longer be preinstalled in Copilot Chat (MC1098165), and by late July, it will be removed from the Agent Store. With the introduction of the Create module in Microsoft 365 Copilot and ongoing improvements to image generation in Copilot Chat, the Visual Creator agent will be retired. Starting mid-July 2025, it will no longer be preinstalled, and by late July, it will be removed from the Agent Store. Users can continue generating images directly in Copilot Chat and for broader content creation scenarios, users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license will continue to be able to use the Create experience in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app to create videos, posters, banners, and other content. When this will happen: Mid-July 2025: The Visual Creator agent will no longer be preinstalled in Copilot Chat Late July 2025: Full removal of the Visual Creator agent from the Agent Store will be completed How this will affect your organization: The Visual Creator agent will no longer be preinstalled or appear in the agent list in Copilot Chat across endpoints.
