About this tag
Copilot Vision is Microsoft's screen-sharing AI feature that lets Copilot interpret what is visible on a Windows 11 display, including apps, browser tabs, and the desktop. It is an opt-in experience with clear privacy boundaries, distinct from Recall. Recent updates expand Copilot Vision to taskbar sharing, File Explorer integration, and a floating toolbar in Edge. The feature is part of Microsoft's broader push to make Windows 11 an AI-first operating system, with on-device AI and developer tooling for Electron apps. Discussions also compare Copilot Vision to Google Gemini's screen sharing on Windows, highlighting differences in visual understanding and file search capabilities.
