Microsoft Copilot Unable to Verify Link Resolution
If you're seeing an “Unable to verify link” error when clicking on source links in Microsoft Copilot Chat, the issue could be due to your browser blocking third-party cookies. Microsoft has confirmed that, for now, you must allow these cookies to avoid the message, there is no workaround that maintains a 3rd party cookie block and still works reliably.

Unable to verify link
The link could not be verified due to an internal error.
We recommend that you retry later.
