cross-device clipboard
About this tag
The cross-device clipboard tag covers Microsoft's feature that lets you copy text or images on one device and paste them on another. On Windows 10 and Windows 11, this works through Phone Link (formerly Link to Windows) and cloud sync.

Insider preview builds show a new toggle for direct PC-to-Android clipboard access. The tag includes setup guides, troubleshooting, and tips for using cross-device clipboard with Microsoft accounts and SwiftKey.
