If you want to know about the Microsoft Copilot 
Tips and Tricks, you're at the right place. 

00:06.320 --> 00:17.000
Here is a detailed guide on the Best Microsoft 
Copilot Tips And Tricks You Should Know. 

00:17.000 --> 00:19.880
This is Windows Club.
Microsoft Copilot has  

00:19.880 --> 00:26.200
been there in the latest version of Windows 
11 for quite some time now, and if you have  

00:26.200 --> 00:31.880
just started using it, you should know a few 
things to get the best out of this AI tool. 

00:31.880 --> 00:36.600
Here are some of the best Microsoft Copilot 
tips and tricks that you should know to get  

00:36.600 --> 00:41.800
the best possible result.
Let’s get started. 

00:41.800 --> 00:46.520
1. Choose a Conversation Style
When you open Microsoft Copilot  

00:46.520 --> 00:53.520
for the very first time, it asks only one 
question to get started – conversation style. 

00:53.520 --> 00:59.480
Conversation style is nothing but a way to get 
your answers. There are three styles – More  

00:59.480 --> 01:05.760
Creative, More Balanced, and More Precise.
If you are looking for a high-end job,  

01:05.760 --> 01:11.880
it is recommended to go with the More Balanced 
option since it creates human-like answers. 

01:11.880 --> 01:17.200
The More Precise style is for those who want 
to use specific things, such as mathematical  

01:17.200 --> 01:26.400
calculations or lists of something too specific, 
writing something on a specific topic, etc. 

01:26.400 --> 01:32.520
2. Add Copilot To The Context Menu
By default, you should see Microsoft Copilot on  

01:32.520 --> 01:39.520
the right-hand side of your screen when you press 
Win + C or click on the respective Taskbar icon.

01:39.520 --> 01:42.360
If you want to use it right from the context menu,  

01:42.360 --> 01:47.360
you can do that. All you need to do 
is take the help of Registry Editor.  

01:47.360 --> 01:53.640
You can go through this guide to learn 
how to add Copilot to the context menu. 

01:53.640 --> 01:58.680
3. Use Copilot To Open Apps
Not only just finding answers,  

01:58.680 --> 02:04.680
but Copilot can also be used to open apps.
For example, if you want to open a browser  

02:04.680 --> 02:11.480
or an Office app such as Word, Excel, or 
PowerPoint, you can use Copilot to do that. 

02:11.480 --> 02:17.640
You only need a simple command such as ‘open 
Microsoft Word’ or ‘open Google Chrome’.

02:17.640 --> 02:21.720
Click on the ‘Yes’ to confirm 
and the browser should open. 

02:21.720 --> 02:25.240
For here, we have given the 
command ‘Close Google Chrome’,  

02:25.240 --> 02:33.240
but it turned up with some instructions on how 
to do so and sometimes with incorrect answers.

02:33.240 --> 02:39.560
4. Use Copilot To Turn On/Off Settings
 
Apart from opening apps, you can use  

02:39.560 --> 02:45.520
Copilot to turn on or off system settings.
As Windows Settings comes with many things  

02:45.520 --> 02:50.960
here and there, it might be difficult to 
remember a specific option's location. 

02:50.960 --> 02:53.800
If so, you do not need to 
open the Windows Settings  

02:53.800 --> 03:01.440
panel to enable or disable a specific option.
Like here, we have asked to open System Settings. 

03:01.440 --> 03:07.800
Again, we need to confirm by clicking on the Yes 
button and it opened the System Settings for us.

03:07.800 --> 03:11.640
If you want to enable dark mode, you 
can give a command like this – turn  

03:11.640 --> 03:16.600
on dark mode. Click on Yes and 
it should turn on the dark mode.

03:16.600 --> 03:22.960
On the other hand, if you want to disable dark 
mode, you can use the term “turn off dark mode”.

03:22.960 --> 03:27.160
After testing several settings with this 
command, we can say that you would get the  

03:27.160 --> 03:35.480
best result when you add turn on/off instead 
of enable/disable or activate/deactivate. 

03:35.480 --> 03:42.120
Also, not all the options can be turned on or 
off. It works best with an option that comes  

03:42.120 --> 03:46.800
with a toggle button.
5. Voice Search 

03:46.800 --> 03:51.200
If you are tired of typing, you can 
always use the voice search option. 

03:51.200 --> 03:56.360
For that, you must enable the microphone 
to be used by Copilot. Once done,  

03:56.360 --> 04:00.640
you can click on the microphone 
icon and start giving your command. 

04:00.640 --> 04:05.480
No matter what you want to get, you 
can ask it using your microphone.

04:05.480 --> 04:09.840
Like here we asked Copilot to open 
System Settings and it gave you  

04:09.840 --> 04:16.800
the option to open it. Just click on the 
‘Yes’ button to get into System Settings.

04:16.800 --> 04:19.800
6. Image Search
 
Sometimes, you might  

04:19.800 --> 04:24.520
want to know what an image is about.
For example, you have an image of a  

04:24.520 --> 04:29.840
fruit on Facebook, but you do not know 
the name of it. In such situations,  

04:29.840 --> 04:36.120
you upload the image or provide the direct 
link to it and ask Copilot to find the name. 

04:36.120 --> 04:41.480
Alternatively, if you have an image 
of text, you can extract it as well. 

04:41.480 --> 04:47.360
To use this option, you need to click on the image 
search icon, upload the image from the device,  

04:47.360 --> 04:53.160
paste it, or share its link. Then, 
you can ask your question manually. 

04:53.160 --> 04:57.400
For example, we pasted the image 
of a fruit and asked Copilot,  

04:57.400 --> 05:05.400
‘What is the name of this fruit?’ Within seconds, 
Copilot identified it and gave the details.

05:05.400 --> 05:11.800
7. Generate AI image
You can also generate AI images using Copilot. 

05:11.800 --> 05:17.360
If you want an image of something and are 
unhappy with readily available online images. 

05:17.360 --> 05:22.280
In those moments, you can generate 
an AI image. You must provide precise  

05:22.280 --> 05:27.760
information you want to include in an image.
Like, instead of saying, “Create an image of Tom  

05:27.760 --> 05:33.800
and Jerry,” we have said, “Create an image of Tom 
and Jerry sitting on a bench looking at a bird.” 

05:33.800 --> 05:40.800
It took a while, but the result is amazing. It 
has provided us multiple images to choose from!

05:40.800 --> 05:47.400
Once you see the images, you can click on 
them to download the photo to your computer. 

05:47.400 --> 05:52.280
8. Summarize Long Paragraphs
Copilot can also be used to summarize your  

05:52.280 --> 05:58.600
boring paragraphs. All you need to do is enter the 
text you want to shorten and give a command like  

05:58.600 --> 06:05.320
“summarize this paragraph in 100 words.”
The result is instant. Most importantly,  

06:05.320 --> 06:11.240
you would learn what the paragraph 
says in your desired word count. 

06:11.240 --> 06:16.840
9. Ask A Definite Question
Copilot shows answers based on the questions you  

06:16.840 --> 06:23.680
ask. Therefore, you need to remember a few things:
Make a platform first. Instead of saying write a  

06:23.680 --> 06:28.880
medical leave application, ask it to write 
something like this – write a medical leave  

06:28.880 --> 06:34.880
application from 12th December to 20th 
December describing your medical issue”.

06:34.880 --> 06:39.600
Edit your result. Once you get the 
result but are not happy with it,  

06:39.600 --> 06:46.360
you can give it more information about 
what you want, how you want, etc. 

06:46.360 --> 06:51.640
10. Use Copilot in Office Apps
It is possible to use Copilot in  

06:51.640 --> 06:58.720
other apps as well. For example, you can use 
Copilot in most Office apps, including Word,  

06:58.720 --> 07:07.040
Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, OneNote, Outlook, etc.
You can check the respective guides to use Copilot  

07:07.040 --> 07:12.800
in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and OneNote.
