Microsoft starts testing ‘Hey, Copilot!’ in Windows
1 min read
Summary
Microsoft is piloting a new feature on Copilot Voice, available to Windows 11 users, allowing them to begin a conversation with the app by saying “Hey Copilot!“.
Copilot has replaced multiple virtual assistants from Microsoft, including Cortana.
The feature requires adopters to opt in and activate the feature, and is being rolled out to testers worldwide who have English as their display language and have the updated Copilot app.
When activated, a microphone icon will appear on the bottom of the screen, accompanied by a notification chime.
The spotting feature runs offline, but requires internet access for the cloud processing feature.
Microsoft has stated it does not save any audio clips locally or send to the cloud.
