One thing I noticed is that in my About Section in Powerpoint it says under "belongs to" that it belongs to an email that is not in use anymore- which however doesnt habe a 365 subscription and is definitely not the one drive and microsoft account its currently connected to- so i can ignore that i guess?
Hi Arvid,
The email address your account is activated under must be the same account that is your Co-Pilot account.
To switch accounts:
In PowerPoint, use the Menu Bar. Choose PowerPoint > Sign Out.
Restart your Mac
When you start PowerPoint (or any office app) it will prompt you to enter your credentials. Use the credentials for the co-pilot license.

CoPilot was originally made available only to enterprise licensed Office and was very expensive. Microsoft has just announced in the last week or so that it'll be more widely available at $20/month for individuals.
As I understand it, it's rolling out gradually, but should be available from your Microsoft 365 account page when it's available to you. I'd check there every so often.

Dear Arvid,
Good day, thanks for querying in this forum. Weβre happy to help you.
From your description, it seems that you want to use Copilot in Word for Mac and PowerPoint for Mac.
If my understanding is right, according to official article, Copilot is available in Microsoft 365 apps.
You can refer to steps below to check if you can enable Copilot, as shown below:
For more details, you can refer to this article: Copilot Pro: Microsoft 365 apps and your privacy - Microsoft Support
If the suggestion above doesnβt work, to better understand your situation, could you provide the information below?
- Could you provide the version of your PowerPoint? You can go to PowerPoint > About PowerPoint and provide the screenshot of it.
- Could you provide the version of Mac OS?
If the scenario above is not consistent with yours, you can also post back and point that.
