you might start conversations with Copilot by pressing and holding ALT+ SPACE for two seconds.
Pressing Escape ends any conversation.
Microsoft began previewing a new Copilot app for Windows 11 recently.
To start a voice conversation with Copilot, hold the Alt + Spacebar for 2 seconds on your PC.
To end your conversation, press the Esc key.
If there is no speaking for several seconds Copilot will automatically end the conversation.
When the conversation is over the microphone on the screen will disappear."
The update for the Copilot app on Windows is rolling out to Windows Insiders through the Microsoft Store.
To use the press to talk feature, the Copilot app needs to be version 1.25024.100.0 or later.
