Copilot CLI will display a link and provide access to a QR code. Open the link on your phone or in a desktop browser tab to watch the session in real time, send follow-up prompts, review plans, and steer the agent remotely.

Organization admins may need to enable the feature for Copilot Business or Enterprise accounts. See the [announcement](https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-13-remote-control-cli-sessions-on-web-and-mobile-in-public-preview/) for details.
