| ```bash | ||
| copilot --remote | ||

| 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. Sessions are user-specific so you can only access your own Copilot CLI sessions. |
