How to Toggle Copilot Vision in Microsoft Edge

Copilot Vision in Microsoft Edge lets you use AI to understand what’s on your screen, turning webpages into interactive tools.

This feature, which Microsoft started rolling out in early 2024, lets you circle or highlight parts of a webpage and then ask Copilot AI questions about them.

You can switch Copilot Vision on or off in Edge’s privacy settings. This control lets you decide how much the browser uses AI to analyze your screen content for helpful summaries or visual explanations.
