Using Copilot Vision with Microsoft Copilot

How Copilot Vision handles your data 

Copilot Vision handles your data in accordance with Microsoft’s Privacy Statement.   

When using Vision, only Copilot’s responses are logged to enable monitoring of unsafe interactions and outputs. User inputs, images, and page content are not logged or stored.  Once the Voice session ends, this data is deleted.   

Vision does not engage directly with the web on your behalf—it’s there to answer questions rather than take actions.  Copilot Vision may highlight portions of the screen to help you find relevant information. It will not click, enter text, or scroll on your behalf. 

The first time you use Vision in Windows, Edge, and Copilot Mobile, Copilot will ask you to acknowledge a privacy notice.   

Vision is not available to users signed into Copilot or Edge with a work or school account. 

How to use Copilot Vision in Edge 

1. Sign in to Edge using your personal Microsoft Account. Learn how to sign in and create multiple profiles in Microsoft Edge if you have not done this before.

2. Navigate in Edge to a website, video or PDF document you want to ask questions about.

   Note:  Copilot Vision works with most sites, except those containing harmful or adult content.  When you visit a site that Copilot Vision does not support, the Copilot Composer at the bottom of the screen will show a grayed-out icon and crossed eyeglasses, and the model will refuse to discuss the content of the page.

3. Press the Copilot icon  in the upper right corner of Edge to open Copilot in the Edge sidebar.

4. Press the Voice button  to ask a question.

   Note: While a Vision session is ongoing, your browser frame will change hue indicating that you are in an active Vision session. The bottom Copilot Composer will show a set of red eyeglasses to indicate Copilot Vision is active on the page. Copilot Vision is only active when you initiate a Vision session. Copilot Vision will remain on while you browse until you end the Vision session.

5. Copilot Vision will look at the page and then let you have a natural conversation with Copilot about the content.

6. You can end a Vision session by exiting the experience in the Copilot​​​​​​​ Composer or by closing the Edge window.
