If you thought you had enough Copilot buttons in your life, think again! The newest update in the Windows 11 Insider Preview introduces an additional feature that is sure to enhance your productivity. When you hover over an open application in your taskbar, a new button labeled “Share with Copilot” appears, allowing you to share the contents of the window with Copilot Vision.
Copilot Vision is an innovative feature that scans the content on your screen and provides detailed analysis. Whether you're curious about a player celebrating in a sports montage or want to explore the intricacies of a sculpture captured in a photograph, this feature makes it easy. By simply clicking the “Share with Copilot” button that pops up in the window preview, you can engage with Microsoft’s AI chatbot, which offers insights and context about the displayed content.
Despite the introduction of this exciting feature, it appears that Windows users are not necessarily asking for more Copilot functionality. Currently, there are already multiple Copilot buttons available across various applications, including Microsoft Paint and Notepad, as well as on the taskbar and even on some PC keyboards. This proliferation of Copilot features raises questions about user demand and the overall user experience.
In the same Windows 11 Insider Preview, another noteworthy Copilot feature is introduced, which focuses on translating on-screen text. This functionality further emphasizes Microsoft’s commitment to enhancing user interaction and accessibility within the operating system.
Microsoft has clarified that they are currently “trying out this taskbar capability,” indicating that this feature may not be permanent. Users should remain aware that it could be removed in a future build before being made available to the general public. As the company continues to refine its offerings, the response from users will likely influence whether these features make the final cut.
With the introduction of the new “Share with Copilot” button and the ongoing development of Copilot Vision, Microsoft is pushing the boundaries of what users can do with Windows 11. Whether these features become staples of the operating system or fade away will depend on user feedback and demand. For now, these innovations offer intriguing possibilities for enhancing your daily computing experience.
