Microsoft Expands Copilot Vision to Entire Screen, Offers Real-Time Guidance

Microsoft has updated its Copilot Vision feature on Windows to expand real-time screening capabilities beyond two apps at a time. With the new update, Copilot Vision can scan the entire desktop or specific browser/app windows, offering real-time assistance and insights. The feature now functions like a live screen-sharing session, making it more privacy-conscious and user-controlled. Copilot Vision is available with app version 1.25071.125 and higher, currently limited to Windows Insiders with Windows Vision enabled.

Microsoft has recently rolled out a significant update to its Copilot Vision feature on Windows, enhancing its real-time screening capabilities beyond just two apps at a time. The new update allows Copilot Vision to scan the entire desktop or specific browser/app windows, providing real-time assistance, insights, and task guidance [1].

The feature now functions similarly to a live screen-sharing session in a video call. Users can choose to share their entire desktop or a specific app window by clicking the glasses icon in the Copilot app. Once enabled, the AI can analyze the visible content and offer relevant responses, including personalized suggestions, spoken tips, or step-by-step guidance [1].

Copilot Vision's new capabilities are available with app version 1.25071.125 and higher, currently limited to Windows Insiders with Windows Vision enabled. The rollout is gradual, with updates being released via the Microsoft Store [2].

This update aims to make Copilot more helpful across various activities, whether users are editing a creative project, updating a resume, or navigating a new game. The feature integrates with voice input, allowing users to provide additional context by clicking the glasses icon during a voice conversation [2].

Microsoft's Copilot Vision update demonstrates the company's commitment to enhancing user experience through AI-driven features, making it a notable development in the realm of artificial intelligence and productivity tools.
