Have you ever found yourself overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information available online? 

Do you wish there was a way to consume content more efficiently? 

What if you could get the gist of an hour-long video in just a few minutes?

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use Microsoft Edge and Copilot to create a video summary.

Microsoft Edge, known for its security and speed, now teams up with Copilot, an AI that simplifies your digital life

Microsoft Edge is the proprietary cross-platform web browser created by Microsoft.

Copilot, on the other hand, is an AI-powered feature within Microsoft Edge that enhances the browsing experience by performing tasks such as summarizing content, answering questions, and comparing products right in the sidebar of the browser.

Working together, they can create a summary of a video.

Here's how to do it.

1. Open Microsoft Edge and navigate to the video you want to summarize.
2. Click on the Copilot icon in the browser’s sidebar.
3. Choose the ‘Chat’ option from the sidebar.
4. Type “summarize this video” into the chat box.
5. Copilot analyzes the video content and provides a concise summary.

As an example, here is a video by The Wine Rookie.

Copilot creates an accurate summary of the video.

• This technique is ideal for students and professionals who need to digest information rapidly.
• And it makes learning more accessible for those with time constraints.

Embracing Copilot in Microsoft Edge can transform your approach to online learning and information gathering. 

By leveraging AI to summarize video content, you can save time, enhance productivity, and focus on what truly matters.

Missing Your ‘Show Desktop’ Button? Here’s How to Get It Back in Windows 11!

Effortlessly reset your taskbar and bring back the ‘Show Desktop’ icon with our straightforward Cool Tip, tailored for both newcomers and seasoned Windows 11 users.

By Rodger Mansfield, Editor

March 6, 2024

Have you ever noticed how a small change can throw off your entire routine? 

Are you missing the ‘Show Desktop’ icon after the latest Windows 11 update?

Want to know how to get it back and why it matters?

Here is a Cool Tip.  Reset the Show Desktop option.

The 2024-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2, identified as KB5034848, changed Taskbar and the System Tray functionality.

The update moves the Copilot icon to the far right side of the system tray, and turns off by default the ‘Show Desktop’ feature at the taskbar’s rightmost corner.

The “Show Desktop” option is a feature in Windows operating systems that allows users to quickly minimize all open windows and view the desktop with a single click or gesture. 

This feature is typically represented by a small button or area at the far right of the taskbar. 

When activated, it minimizes all open applications, providing immediate access to the desktop where files, folders, and shortcuts are located. 

It’s a convenient way to clear the screen without closing any programs, allowing for easy access to desktop items or simply a clean workspace.

Want to re-add the Show Desktop option?

Here is how to do it.

• Open ‘Settings’ via the Start menu or by pressing Win + I.
• Navigate to ‘Personalization’ and select ‘Taskbar’.
• In the ‘Taskbar behaviors’ section, find and enable the option ‘Show desktop on the far right’.

fig. 1 - Taskbar Setting to Show Desktop

To show the desktop, just click in the taskbar space on the far right.

fig. 2 - Click in This Space to Show Desktop

Unfortunately, when the Show Desktop is turned on, the Copilot icon disappears.

To invoke Copilot, press WIN + C as a keyboard shortcut.

Copilot can also be disabled from the taskbar by right-clicking, selecting "Taskbar settings," and toggling off Copilot (preview).

Quick desktop access improves multitasking and is a familiar tool for long-time Windows users.

With these simple steps, you can reclaim the ‘Show Desktop’ icon and maintain your productivity. Embrace the new while preserving the familiar with Windows 11’s latest update.

This update is slowly rolling out to all Windows 11 users so you'll see these changes in the coming weeks.

Whether you want to highlight an object to make it pop with enhanced color, blur the background of your image to make your subject shine, or even reimagine your image with a different effect like pixel art, Copilot has you covered, all for free.  

If you’re a Copilot Pro subscriber, in addition to the above, you can also now easily resize and regenerate images between square and landscape without leaving chat.

Here's how to do it.
