Sharing your screen with Copilot on Windows 11 becomes simpler with the introduction of a new 'share screen' button in the Taskbar by Microsoft.

Sharing your screen with Copilot on Windows 11 becomes simpler with the introduction of a new 'share screen' button in the Taskbar by Microsoft.

Microsoft has recently unveiled two new Copilot-related features in a preview build of Windows 11, available exclusively for Insiders. These features are designed to make AI tools more accessible and user-friendly on the platform.

The first new feature allows users to translate news on their screen directly from the Click To Do interface using Copilot. This means that users no longer have to manually switch to a translation app or website. Instead, they can simply select the news they want to translate and a translation suggestion will appear.

The second new feature makes it easier to share what's currently on the screen with Copilot. When mousing over an opened app window on the taskbar, an option to share with Copilot will appear. By clicking this share button, users can quickly start a new conversation with Copilot and use Copilot Vision to scan, analyze, and offer insights on what is shown on the screen from that app at that time.

In addition to these features, Copilot Vision is being integrated into the Taskbar app previews. Though currently limited to the United States, this integration means that users no longer need to open Copilot or enable Copilot Vision mode to utilize it. Instead, they can simply hover over an app icon and press the share button to initiate Copilot Vision on that app.

It is worth noting that the specific countries authorized to test the newly introduced Copilot features on Windows 11 have not been explicitly identified in the provided search results. Moreover, the new features are not yet available to users outside of the United States due to Copilot Vision's limited availability.

Microsoft has not provided any information about the specific release date or availability of the new features beyond a reference to the coming months. The feedback from the testing phase will determine if the new Copilot features will be made available to all Windows 11 users.

The new features on Windows 11 are being positioned as tools that are accessible at any time, similar to the button that appears when wanting to share the screen in a Teams meeting. This emphasis on accessibility and user-friendliness is a significant step forward in the integration of AI tools into everyday computing.

As always, users are encouraged to test these new features and provide feedback to Microsoft to help shape the future of AI on Windows 11.
