Windows 11 Tests Taskbar Copilot Button for Screen Sharing
Microsoft is testing a new button in Windows 11 that lets you share what's on your screen with Copilot, its AI helper.
When you click the button, Copilot will analyze the window and give you extra info or help.
This is part of Microsoft's plan to add AI everywhere in Windows, but some people worry there will be too many AI buttons.
This new button might not even be available in the next update.
Microsoft is testing a new "Share with Copilot" button in Windows 11.
The button lets users share any open app window with Copilot Vision.
Copilot Vision can scan the screen and offer analysis and context.
This is part of Microsoft's effort to integrate AI into Windows.
The feature is experimental and may not be released.
