Windows 10: Microsoft begins testing Copilot Vision on Windows

GHacks · Jul 16, 2025 at 9:12 AM

Copilot Vision on Windows is rolling out to Windows Insiders. Well, we can't have enough AI, that's probably their motto at Redmond.

You may have heard about Copilot Vision on Microsoft Edge, which lets you browse with an AI. Well, Copilot Vision on Windows is similar. You can share your whole desktop with the AI, and it can see everything on the screen and talk to you about it. Microsoft says that this real-time conversation will help users analyze content, provide insights, answers, and even coach you.

This isn't like Recall, as in it won't be looking at your screen all the time. You will need to manually invoke Copilot Vision from the Copilot app. To do this, you have to click on the glasses icon. A floating toolbar with Copilot Voice, Vision controls will appear, and a greeting will play. That is not unlike how the Hey Copilot wake word behaves when activated.

Hit the X button, or Stop, to end the desktop sharing process. It's similar to sharing your desktop screen. Users can also talk with the AI using their voice. This is fairly similar to what Google Gemini Live does.

Microsoft says that Copilot Vision can be used with any app (limited to 2 apps at a time), and it can assist users with various tasks like "making improvements to your creative project, help with improving your resume, or guidance while navigating a new game". Copilot Vision on Windows is rolling to users who have opted into the Windows Insider Channel, it is available in Copilot app version 1.25071.125 and higher. Here's the official support page for the feature. It says that only Copilot's responses are logged for monitoring of unsafe interactions and outputs. Microsoft says that it does not collect user inputs, images, page content, these are not logged or stored. The data is deleted after the "Voice Session" ends.

On a similar topic, Microsoft is testing a new Click To Do action called Describe Image, that lets you ask the AI to describe the contents in a photo.

Windows is looking less appealing with each AI-related announcement.

Microsoft 365 Copilot is coming to OneNote

We are thrilled to announce that the Microsoft 365 Copilot is coming to OneNote. This powerful tool combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with your data from the Microsoft Graph—notes, calendars, emails, chats, documents, meetings, and more—and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn your words into a powerful productivity tool. All of this is done within our existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise. We know that too much time is spent on the mundane tasks of work and not enough time is spent on the work that brings us joy and ignites our creativity. That's why Copilot is being integrated directly into OneNote. It works with you, embedded in the other Microsoft 365 apps you use daily to help you unlock productivity, unleash creativity, and uplevel your skills.

An animated image demonstrating how to use Copilot to make a to-do list in OneNote. Copilot in OneNote Your digital notebook reimagined with Copilot. Copilot in OneNote helps you create, capture, organize, and recall information with confidence.

Uplevel your digital notebook with natural language commands to reorganize your notebook, adjust formatting, and highlight what's important. Here are some example commands and prompts you can try:

Create a plan for my daughter’s high school graduation party.

Summarize notes into bullet points on a new page.

Generate a list of topics and talking points to be covered in an annual investor update meeting.

Plan a spring trip to Paris for me, my partner, and my two teenage children.

I'm starting a wholesale coffee bean and roasting company. Give me 10 suggestions for a company name and vision statement.

The Copilot System builds on our existing commitments to data security and privacy in the enterprise. Copilot automatically inherits your organization’s security, compliance, and privacy policies for Microsoft 365. Data is managed in line with our current commitments. Copilot large language models are not trained on your tenant data. Finally, we have worked to design an experience that prioritizes human agency and puts the user in control.

Microsoft plans to bring Copilot to Windows 10

Microsoft began rolling out its new AI assistant for Windows earlier this year with the Windows 11 version 23H2 release, which adds a new Microsoft Copilot button directly to the Taskbar. Microsoft has been putting its Copilot in front of every user it can, but there's still a large chunk of PC users on the older Windows 10 OS which hasn't seen any of Microsoft's recent AI additions. That may soon be changing. According to my sources, Microsoft is planning to bring the same Microsoft Copilot to Windows 10 in an update coming soon. Just like Windows 11, this update to Windows 10 will place a Copilot button directly on the Windows 10 taskbar, which will open the exact same Copilot sidebar experience found on Windows 11. The main reason behind this decision is market share. Windows 10 is still in use on around 1 billion monthly active devices, compared to the 400 million monthly active devices on Windows 11. Microsoft views that additional 1 billion users as an untapped market for Copilot expansion, and so adding Copilot to Windows 10 is an obvious next step for the company.
