If you want to know about the Microsoft Copilot Tips and Tricks, you're at the right place.
0:06
Here is a detailed guide on the Best Microsoft Copilot Tips And Tricks You Should Know.
0:17
This is Windows Club. Microsoft Copilot has
0:19
been there in the latest version of Windows 11 for quite some time now, and if you have
0:26
just started using it, you should know a few things to get the best out of this AI tool.
0:31
Here are some of the best Microsoft Copilot tips and tricks that you should know to get
0:36
the best possible result. Let’s get started.
0:41
1. Choose a Conversation Style When you open Microsoft Copilot
0:46
for the very first time, it asks only one question to get started – conversation style.
0:53
Conversation style is nothing but a way to get your answers. There are three styles – More
0:59
Creative, More Balanced, and More Precise. If you are looking for a high-end job,
1:05
it is recommended to go with the More Balanced option since it creates human-like answers.
1:11
The More Precise style is for those who want to use specific things, such as mathematical
1:17
calculations or lists of something too specific, writing something on a specific topic, etc.
1:26
2. Add Copilot To The Context Menu By default, you should see Microsoft Copilot on
1:32
the right-hand side of your screen when you press Win + C or click on the respective Taskbar icon.
1:39
If you want to use it right from the context menu,
1:42
you can do that. All you need to do is take the help of Registry Editor.
1:47
You can go through this guide to learn how to add Copilot to the context menu.
1:53
3. Use Copilot To Open Apps Not only just finding answers,
1:58
but Copilot can also be used to open apps. For example, if you want to open a browser
2:04
or an Office app such as Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, you can use Copilot to do that.
2:11
You only need a simple command such as ‘open Microsoft Word’ or ‘open Google Chrome’.
2:17
Click on the ‘Yes’ to confirm and the browser should open.
2:21
For here, we have given the command ‘Close Google Chrome’,
2:25
but it turned up with some instructions on how to do so and sometimes with incorrect answers.
2:33
4. Use Copilot To Turn On/Off Settings
2:39
Copilot to turn on or off system settings. As Windows Settings comes with many things
2:45
here and there, it might be difficult to remember a specific option's location.
2:50
If so, you do not need to open the Windows Settings
2:53
panel to enable or disable a specific option. Like here, we have asked to open System Settings.
3:01
Again, we need to confirm by clicking on the Yes button and it opened the System Settings for us.
3:07
If you want to enable dark mode, you can give a command like this – turn
3:11
on dark mode. Click on Yes and it should turn on the dark mode.
3:16
On the other hand, if you want to disable dark mode, you can use the term “turn off dark mode”.
3:22
After testing several settings with this command, we can say that you would get the
3:27
best result when you add turn on/off instead of enable/disable or activate/deactivate.
3:35
Also, not all the options can be turned on or off. It works best with an option that comes
3:42
with a toggle button. 5. Voice Search
3:46
If you are tired of typing, you can always use the voice search option.
3:51
For that, you must enable the microphone to be used by Copilot. Once done,
3:56
you can click on the microphone icon and start giving your command.
4:00
No matter what you want to get, you can ask it using your microphone.
4:05
Like here we asked Copilot to open System Settings and it gave you
4:09
the option to open it. Just click on the ‘Yes’ button to get into System Settings.
4:16
6. Image Search
4:19
want to know what an image is about. For example, you have an image of a
4:24
fruit on Facebook, but you do not know the name of it. In such situations,
4:29
you upload the image or provide the direct link to it and ask Copilot to find the name.
4:36
Alternatively, if you have an image of text, you can extract it as well.
4:41
To use this option, you need to click on the image search icon, upload the image from the device,
4:47
paste it, or share its link. Then, you can ask your question manually.
4:53
For example, we pasted the image of a fruit and asked Copilot,
4:57
‘What is the name of this fruit?’ Within seconds, Copilot identified it and gave the details.
5:05
7. Generate AI image You can also generate AI images using Copilot.
5:11
If you want an image of something and are unhappy with readily available online images.
5:17
In those moments, you can generate an AI image. You must provide precise
5:22
information you want to include in an image. Like, instead of saying, “Create an image of Tom
5:27
and Jerry,” we have said, “Create an image of Tom and Jerry sitting on a bench looking at a bird.”
5:33
It took a while, but the result is amazing. It has provided us multiple images to choose from!
5:40
Once you see the images, you can click on them to download the photo to your computer.
5:47
8. Summarize Long Paragraphs Copilot can also be used to summarize your
5:52
boring paragraphs. All you need to do is enter the text you want to shorten and give a command like
5:58
“summarize this paragraph in 100 words.” The result is instant. Most importantly,
6:05
you would learn what the paragraph says in your desired word count.
6:11
9. Ask A Definite Question Copilot shows answers based on the questions you
6:16
ask. Therefore, you need to remember a few things: Make a platform first. Instead of saying write a
6:23
medical leave application, ask it to write something like this – write a medical leave
6:28
application from 12th December to 20th December describing your medical issue”.
6:34
Edit your result. Once you get the result but are not happy with it,
6:39
you can give it more information about what you want, how you want, etc.
6:46
10. Use Copilot in Office Apps It is possible to use Copilot in
6:51
other apps as well. For example, you can use Copilot in most Office apps, including Word,
6:58
Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneNote, Outlook, etc. You can check the respective guides to use Copilot
7:07
in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and OneNote. Outro
