Talk to Copilot: voice conversation on mobile

✅ How to

1. 1Talk to Copilot, simplyWork with AI the way that suits you best: multimodal capabilities make your workflows simpler, faster and more intuitive. On mobile, but also on the web and desktop, you can talk to Copilot like a personal assistant, through a natural voice conversation grounded in your work data and the web. See for yourself, it's clearer in video (sound is off by default, turn it on with the player icon):
2. 2On which devices?Voice conversation is gradually rolling out on web, iOS, Android, Windows and Mac. In other words: whether you're on your phone during your commute or at your desk, voice follows you everywhere.
3. 3How to start a voice conversation➞ In the input box, click the voice conversation icon (to the right of the microphone), as shown below. ➞ On Windows, if the Microsoft 365 Copilot app is installed, you can also start voice from quick view, with the Copilot key or the Win+C shortcut. ➞ Speak with Copilot: at any time you can cut in while it's talking, change topic or ask a follow-up question. ➞ To mute or end, use Mute/Pause or End voice chat. Copilot then stops listening.
   
4. 4The right way to dialogueTalking to Copilot is like talking to a colleague: no need for perfect sentences. Three reflexes are enough: ➞ Start with a precise question, then build on it to do something useful. For example: « What's my next meeting? Help me prep for it. » or « What's the mail from X about? Draft a reply. » ➞ Stay natural: you can cut in while Copilot is talking, ask it to clarify, or move on to something else. It adjusts right away, just like a real conversation. ➞ One limit to know: for now, voice is for asking questions and getting answers. It does not yet trigger actions like scheduling a meeting, sending an email or generating an image. For that, switch back to the keyboard.
5. 5Scenario 1: prepare for a customer meetingChain your questions naturally, like on a phone call: ➞ « Do I have any urgent customer topics to handle this week? » ➞ « When is my next meeting with customer X? » ➞ « What are their most recent public announcements? » And if Copilot says too much, just cut in: « Stop, just give me the headlines. » It stops right there and gets to the point. In real life, it sounds like: « Hey Copilot, any urgent topics about project X for me?... got it... and when am I meeting this customer again?... thanks... and what did they announce recently? Just the main points. »
6. 6Scenario 2: prepare for my day➞ « When's my next meeting about project X? Confirm the agenda and attendee list from my calendar. » ➞ « Remind me of the important open items from the last meeting on this project. » In real life: « Hey Copilot... uh... when's my next meeting about project X?... and what's the agenda, who was invited again... give me a quick recap of what we said last time... thanks, got it... and the topics we didn't finish? »
7. 7Scenario 3: help me prepare to speak up➞ « Copilot, when's my next meeting with my leadership team? » ➞ « Help me prepare: write a roughly 90-second opening on this week's notable announcements around generative AI in the office space. » If it runs long, rein it in: « Stop, sum it up in 3 sentences. » In real life: « Copilot, when's my next leadership meeting?... I need to add an opening about recent AI trends, give me a quick rundown... got it, thanks. »
8. 8Scenario 4: think out loud and create content➞ « Copilot, note my thoughts on our AI marketing and partner strategy, then turn them into a plan with three possible options. » ➞ Then, along the way: « Also add details from my recent meetings on this topic. » In real life: « Hey Copilot, I'm going to think out loud for a couple of minutes on our AI partner strategy. Capture the essence and turn it into a clear email, with next steps, that I can share. Ok?... (and then you just talk freely) »
9. 9What to rememberVoice is Copilot hands-free: perfect to prep a meeting while walking, review your day or capture an idea out loud. Start with a precise question, stay natural, cut in without hesitation. And for actions (send, schedule, generate), switch back to the keyboard. A real personal assistant, in your pocket.
