[Updated] Microsoft Copilot Studio – Information about hosted browser in computer use

We are introducing a tenant level product feature setting, hosted browser in computer use, for Microsoft Copilot Studio. This feature allows administrators to control whether Copilot Studio’s computer use tool can be executed on a hosted browser powered by Windows 365. This feature will reach preview on September 10, 2025, for all Power Platform environments in the First Release and United States regions and will be enabled by default.

Important update:

• The initial default setting for this feature is Off.
• However, depending on the tenant region, the default was changed to On between August 25 and September 15, 2025, as part of a feature roll-out communicated on September 1, 2025. The feature became available for use starting September 10, 2025.
• We understand that some customers may not have been aware of this update. We are committed to improving the clarity of such communications going forward.

Computer use is a powerful tool that automates interactions across websites and desktop applications, but it also comes with important security considerations. In some cases, the AI automates interactions but may cause unintended actions that compromise device, data, or account security. Please review the FAQ for computer use tool for more information.
