A new update rolls out for the Microsoft Copilot app on Windows via the Microsoft Store which introduces the following changes and improvements to Copilot Vision on Windows where you can choose to share your whole desktop with Copilot. When you share your desktop, Copilot can see what you see and talk to you about it in real time.
If the Copilot app is not already on your Windows PC, go to how to install Copilot on Windows. On new Windows 11 PCs, the Copilot app should already be installed by default. You can find the Copilot app pinned to the taskbar or on the Start menu.
Once installed, open the Copilot app and sign in using your personal Microsoft Account. Signing into Copilot gives you access to your chat history, image creation, longer conversations, voice interactions, and other Copilot features.
Check out all the details below:
Desktop Share: Now you can choose to share your whole desktop with Copilot. When you share your desktop (or any specific browser or app window), Copilot can see what you see and talk to you about it in real time. It can help analyze content, provide insights, and answer your questions, coaching you through it aloud. Get tips on making improvements to your creative project, help with improving your resume, or guidance while navigating a new game. To get started click the glasses icon in your composer, select the desktop that you’d like to share, and ask Copilot to help with whatever you’re working on. To stop sharing, press ‘Stop’ or ‘X’ in the composer.

Access Vision from your Voice conversation: Now you can turn on Vision from a Voice conversation. When you’re talking with Copilot and want to provide additional context on whatever you’re working on, simply click on the glasses icon and share your screen.
This Copilot app update (version 1.25071.125 and higher) is beginning to roll out across all Insider Channels via the Microsoft Store. These updates will first roll out to Insiders in markets where Windows Vision is enabled. The above-mentioned features are gradually rolling out so not all Insiders will get the update right away. We are excited to be previewing improvements with our Insiders to ensure all our customers have a great Copilot experience on Windows.
