Microsoft Tests Copilot Vision That Watches Your Whole Windows Desktop

Microsoft has begun testing a major upgrade to its Copilot Vision assistant that lets the artificial-intelligence tool view an entire Windows 11 desktop, rather than just individual apps. The feature is shipping to users in the Windows Insider Program through Copilot app version 1.25071.125, reaching all preview channels in a staged rollout. To activate the capability, users must opt in by clicking a glasses icon inside the Copilot interface, explicitly sharing either the full desktop or a chosen window for each session. Microsoft says Copilot can then analyze on-screen content in real time, offer guidance, highlight areas to click and answer questions aloud. The company stresses that the assistant does not automatically monitor screens and that sessions can be ended at any moment, a design aimed at avoiding the privacy concerns that dogged last year’s Recall experiment. The expansion underscores Microsoft’s push to make Copilot more appealing as consumer adoption lags behind OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which has been downloaded roughly 900 million times. By embedding richer vision capabilities directly into Windows, Microsoft is seeking to close that gap and differentiate its operating system ahead of a wider public release of the feature.
