Windows 11 is adding another Copilot button nobody asked for

Tired of seeing numerous Copilot buttons? Well, there’s a new addition for you! The latest Windows 11 Insider Preview introduces a button that appears when you hover over an open app on your taskbar, allowing you to share its content with Copilot Vision.

Curious about who’s in that celebratory huddle on the mound, or interested in finding out more about that sculpture you snapped a picture of? Simply click the “Share with Copilot” button that emerges in the window preview. Copilot Vision examines what’s displayed on your screen, processes it, and enables you to engage with Microsoft’s AI chatbot to gain more information, including tutorials.

Admittedly, it doesn’t seem Windows users are particularly eager for additional Copilot features. These buttons are already present in applications like Microsoft Paint, Notepad, on the taskbar, your keyboard, and even on some PC interfaces. Notably, another Copilot functionality in the same Windows 11 preview can translate on-screen text. Microsoft mentions it’s “experimenting with this taskbar capability,” so don’t be surprised if it’s discontinued in a future update before reaching general users.
