Microsoft Copilot
Copilot Vision
Copilot Vision lets Copilot watch your screen, a shared app, or your phone camera and talk you through what it sees. It runs inside a Copilot Voice session, so you share a screen and then ask out loud. It is **no longer free**: you now need **Microsoft 365 Personal, Family, or Premium**, capped at **10 minutes a day** on Personal and Family and **15 minutes a day** on Premium. It reaches well beyond Edge now, covering Windows, macOS, and the mobile apps. This table covers plans available to new customers; legacy Copilot Pro feature entitlements need separate review.
