Microsoft rolls out "Copilot Vision with Highlights" in the US

Microsoft is adding a new set of eyes to Windows. The company today announced a feature called Copilot Vision with Highlights for the Copilot app, giving Windows 10 and 11 users a smarter way to interact with what’s on screen.

Copilot Vision brings real-time screen understanding to Windows 10 and 11

This feature lets the AI “see” your screen and respond with suggestions, how-tos, or extra context based on what you’re working on. For example, if you’re trimming a video in Clipchamp, you can ask Copilot to walk you through it. The same goes for editing in Photos or switching tasks between two apps.

You’ll find the new screen-aware mode inside the Copilot app. Just click the glasses icon at the bottom-right, pick an app to share, and start asking questions. Copilot will highlight relevant parts of the interface and help you out. When you’re done, just hit “Stop” or “X” in the composer.

This is a completely opt-in feature. It won’t be enabled as default. You’ll have to turn it on manually. That’s important—especially after the backlash around Recall last year. Microsoft is making it clear that your screen isn’t being monitored in the background.

Copilot Vision doesn’t require a Pro subscription and is rolling out now to Windows 10 and 11 users in the U.S. Rollout to other non-EU regions will follow soon. The feature has been in Insider testing for weeks, but it’s finally here.
