Thanks. I subsequently found Guest mode, under the avatar (as you noted).

The Guest mode isn't allowed to use the no-login Copilot sidebar.
If the Guest mode wants to use Copilot, it has to log into an account.
 <https://copilot.microsoft.com/>

However, "InPrivate" mode is allowed to use the no-login Copilot sidebar.

To get into InPrivate mode, press Control+N or select the three dots
to the top right and select "New InPrivate Window" from the menu.

Pretty much, I think we've all concluded there is no way, today, to use
Copilot sans an account other than via the copilot sidebar mechanism.
