Microsoft has updated its unified workplace collaboration platform called Teams with latest version which allows users to pick background effects as like the video conferencing Zoom app. Building on context blur, this app uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to blur the world behind it.
Eventually, the users will have the option to upload their own photos for use, the Microsoft said in a statement.
Zoom application provides support for custom backgrounds that are built into the program itself, static images and video loops that can be used as backgrounds for motion. Microsoft will carry out its ‘lift hand’ feature for video calls early, too. With this, users can warn others by clicking on a dedicated ‘lift hand’ icon that they have something to say.
