Microsoft has unveiled a new feature called Click to Do for Windows 11 v24H2, the latest version, exclusively for Copilot+ PC group users. If you’re familiar with the Circle to Search feature on the Android side, you may recognize this feature. It allows you to click on any image on the screen and search for information related to that image (via Bing Visual Search) or perform other image editing tasks such as removing the background or objects.
To use Click to Do on Windows 11, simply press and hold the Windows key on your keyboard and then click on any image on the screen with your mouse, or you can also use the shortcut Win+Q (works with any app as it operates at the Windows level, recognizing text, still images, or videos displayed on the screen).
When you click on an image, a menu will pop up with options to save the image, share it, or search for it on Bing, among others. Clicking on text on the screen allows you to summarize the text, supporting Thai language as well (for tier 1 countries as the first group).
The Click to Do feature will begin preview testing with Copilot+ PC Insiders group in October.
