Microsoft’s Copilot Vision AI can now view your entire screen

Microsoft’s Copilot Vision now sees your entire screen, offering live help and insights through desktop or mobile in real-time.

Starting July 16, Microsoft is rolling out a major update to its Copilot Vision feature, now allowing the AI to view everything on your screen, not just two apps at a time. If you’re part of the Windows Insider programme, you’ll notice that Copilot Vision no longer has the same limits it used to. You can now choose to view your entire desktop or any specific app or browser window, providing more flexibility in how you use the tool.

This development makes the tool far more helpful, especially when compared to its previous version, which could only “see” two apps at once and connect ideas between them. Microsoft explains that this expanded vision allows Copilot to analyse more complex tasks, suggest improvements, and offer real-time support based on what’s on your screen.

Like screen sharing, but smarter

Unlike Microsoft’s other tool, called Recall, which takes snapshots of your screen at regular intervals, Copilot Vision doesn’t store anything automatically. Instead, it functions more like a live screen share. When you want Copilot to see your screen, you activate the feature by clicking the glasses icon in the Copilot app. From there, you can choose to share your whole desktop or select a specific window.

Once enabled, Copilot Vision can help in several ways. Whether you’re editing a creative project, rewriting your CV, or trying to master a new game, the AI is designed to support you by offering tips, answering your questions, and even coaching you aloud as you work. Microsoft says the tool is invaluable when you want guidance or instant feedback without having to stop and search for information elsewhere.

A feature built for both PC and mobile

Copilot Vision originally launched in limited form last year, aimed at helping users while browsing in Microsoft Edge. However, this latest update indicates that Microsoft is poised to expand the feature’s use across various tasks and devices.

What makes it even more impressive is that you can also use Copilot Vision through your mobile phone’s camera. Just point your camera at something, and the AI can respond with information, answer questions, or help you understand what you’re looking at. This adds another layer of convenience, whether you’re using a PC or your phone.

Microsoft’s updates to Copilot Vision signal a step forward in AI integration for everyday users. By giving you control over when and what the AI sees, the tool remains user-friendly while becoming even more powerful. If you’re a Windows Insider, you can try out the new features now and explore how this smarter screen-sharing-style assistant fits into your day-to-day digital work.
