Summarize Videos Quickly with Microsoft Edge’s Copilot Feature

Summarize Videos Quickly with Microsoft Edge’s Copilot Feature

Discover how Microsoft Edge’s Copilot feature revolutionizes content consumption by summarizing videos, enhancing productivity and learning.

Microsoft Edge
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.

Why do this?
  • Quickly grasp the main points without watching the entire 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.

By Rodger Mansfield, Technology Editor
March 24, 2024


Ever find yourself wanting to watch a YouTube video without leaving a trace in your history or influencing your recommendations? 

Perhaps you're sharing a device and don't want to mix up viewing preferences, or maybe you're simply researching a sensitive topic. 

Here's a Cool Tip.  Use YouTube's Incognito mode.

Here's how to do it.
  1. Open the YouTube app on your smartphone or tablet.
  2. Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner.
  3. Select the option labeled "Turn on Incognito."
  4. You're Incognito! You'll see a confirmation message and an Incognito mode icon (hat and glasses) in the top right corner.
  5. To exit Incognito mode, simply tap the Incognito icon in the top right corner and select "Turn off Incognito."

Your searches and watched videos won't appear in your YouTube history while in Incognito mode and your usual recommendations won't be impacted by your Incognito activity.

It's important to note that Incognito mode doesn't make your activity entirely invisible. 

Your internet service provider, school, or employer might still be able to see your browsing activity.

Incognito mode is perfect for when you're using someone else's phone or a public device.
Considerations

It is a simple, powerful tool for private moments on the platform. 

By following these steps, you can protect your viewing habits and keep those surprise birthday present searches under wraps!

Have you used YouTube's Incognito mode?

How to Watch YouTube Videos On A Streaming Device When Links Are Sent Via Email or Text

YouTube
Do you receive YouTube video links sent to you by email or text that you want to watch on a streaming device like, Roku or FireTV?

And you haven't found a way to send those links to your streaming devices?

That's a problem.

Because your streaming device doesn't have email or text capabilities.

One approach might be to try to search YouTube to find the same video.

But here's a Cool Tip that will let you easily watch those videos on your other devices.

--> Watch enough of the video on your phone or PC so that YouTube will list it in your YouTube history.

Then, login to your streaming device in it's YouTube app and find the video in your YouTube history list.

Here's how to do it.

  • When a friend sends you a YouTube link, select it and watch it on your phone or PC.  
    • Be sure to have the YouTube app on your phone.
    • Be sure to be logged into your YouTube/Google account. 
    • Watch at least 15 seconds so that YouTube lists the video in your YouTube history.
  • Go to your streaming device such as Roku or FireTV.
  • Open the YouTube app.
    • If needed, download the YouTube app from the streaming device's App Store.
  • Login to your Google/YouTube Account on the app.
  • Select the History link
  • Select the video you want to watch.

It's an easy way to watch that specific YouTube video that is sent by text or email on your streaming device.


YouTube History

There are several other things you can do when you watch a YouTube video on your phone or PC and watch to watch it again on a streaming device.

Try going to the channel of the creator and Subscribe to the channel.  

You can also mark the video as a favorite.  

In both cases, when you are watching from the streaming device, you can go to your Subscriptions or your Favorites to find the video again.

That's it.
