Microsoft Copilot can now ‘see’ what’s on your screen in Edge
1 min read
Summary
Microsoft has made its Copilot Vision feature available within its Edge browser, promoting it with talk of helping users with cooking recipes or job descriptions
However, it is only the broader, system-wide features that are available to Copilot Pro subscribers
Copilot Vision is a ‘talk-based experience’, meaning it relies on the user speaking instructions to it rather than relying on keyboard input alone
It can supposedly highlight relevant information and decode URLs, but some users have reported problems getting it to work, and in some cases, it didn’t work at all
Microsoft logs Copilot’s responses to users but does not collect their inputs, images or page content, and you can end the session or close the browser window to stop sharing your screen
