For some, this might be a Cortana trigger, and I totally understand it. However, if you are in the Windows Insider Program and keep your microphone or headset active, you’ll be able to wake Copilot with the phrase “Hey Copilot.” The phrase is a new way for users to start a conversation with Copilot easily. It’s also an opt-in feature. The feature only works if your PC is unlocked and the feature is enabled.
Microsoft says this feature will allow you to stay inside your workflow, get answers from Copilot, or just something to bounce ideas off of. To get started, enable “Hey, Copilot” in the settings of your Copilot app. From there, you will see the Copilot microphone on your screen with an audible chime to let you know the assistant is active and listening. To end the conversation, tap X, or Copilot will automatically end the conversation after a few seconds of inactivity and alert you with an audible chime. You can take a look at Microsoft’s FAQ here.
