Press-to-talk capability is just in testing for now in the latest version of the Copilot app, which Microsoft is busy turning into a fuller-featured affair.

A new feature for Copilot on Windows will let you speak to the AI tool after using a keyboard shortcut. Press to talk is in testing among Windows Insiders.

Now rolling out to Windows insiders, the updated Copilot app will let you use a hotkey to automatically launch the AI in conversation mode.

Microsoft unveiled the new Copilot app in Windows 11, and this week, it's rolling out the first of what will be several new features.

Of course, activating Windows 11 in a less-than-legitimate way is nothing new. And the script that Copilot provides instructions for isn’t even a new one—it’s been around for a few years. However, the fact that Microsoft hasn’t created some kind of safety net to keep Copilot from talking people through the exact process is kind of crazy.

Redditors have discovered that Copilot will recommend a script to permanently activate copies of Windows and Office. It’s a method that’s been available for a couple of years now, but it’s certainly amusing to see Copilot offer up the exact detailed steps.

If you've lost count of how many times Microsoft has updated the Copilot app in Windows 11, you're not alone. And normal.

"Copilot" experience has been created from scratch for the fifth time in a row, and it looks like Microsoft has finally got it right.
