Microsoft Copilot updates: new design, image editing tools, and video highlights

Microsoft Copilot updates: new design, image editing tools, and video highlights

On February 7, 2024, Microsoft announced significant updates for Copilot, promising a substantial improvement in user experience and productivity. These updates are now live and available for free, making them immediately accessible to a wide audience.

New homepage and user-friendliness

The first major change is the revamped design of the homepage, created to streamline navigation. This new design introduces a carousel of suggested prompts that highlight the extensive functionalities of Copilot. While the updated interface may take some getting used to, it is clearly designed with an improved user experience in mind.

Integrated image editing

Another core update is the integration of inline image editing tools, made possible by Microsoft Designer. This feature allows users to edit AI-generated images directly within the platform. This eliminates the need for external editing software, saving time and potentially costs. Users can now easily adjust colors, blur backgrounds, and add filter effects.

Video features improved

Copilot has also expanded its video features by introducing AI-driven video highlights. This feature provides videos with timestamps, allowing viewers to easily jump to specific segments. This innovation is compatible with both YouTube and Vimeo and simplifies the way we interact with video content.

Impact on your company or organization

The updates have a significant impact on businesses and organizations, as they streamline the content creation process and enhance the user experience. The ability to work quickly and efficiently within a single platform can be highly effective for many in the industry.

Availability is broad, with support for the English language in markets such as the US, the UK, Australia, India, and New Zealand. And with compatibility across browsers like Microsoft Edge, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, as well as a mobile app for iOS and Android, Copilot is more accessible than ever.

These updates highlight Microsoft's commitment to innovation and user-friendliness, setting the standard for the future of digital assistance. With improved navigation, direct image editing, and smarter video features, Copilot offers a more streamlined and enjoyable online experience for everyone.
