14 DAY TRIAL // 2020 completely changed the way we work and interact, as the remote working trend skyrocketed overnight.
As such, software that allowed us to stay in touch and remain productive from the safety of our ad-hoc home offices gained traction, including here Microsoft Teams and Zoom.
The debut of Windows Studio Effects, which took place last year, was supposed to provide users with extra convenience by allowing them to adjust the audio and video on the fly.
Now Microsoft is making its AI-powered feature even easier to use by integrating it directly into the taskbar.
The update has been around for a while in the Windows Insider program, but it’s now making its way to users with the release of Windows 11 Moment 2.
Windows Studio Effects integrated into the taskbar lets users configure background blue, eye contact, and automatic framing, with all settings to then be applied to your video messaging software.
“Effects like eye contact, background blur, automatic framing and voice focus, available to use with your built-in camera and mic, enhance your video calling experience. With this update, we are making it even easier to find and adjust your Windows Studio Effects settings directly from the taskbar in quick settings. Now you can instantly adjust background blur, eye contact and automatic framing, and apply them to your favorite communications applications, with seamless integration into Microsoft Teams,” Microsoft explains.
Everything is possible thanks to a clean flyout that opens from the system tray. The focus is on the essential settings, and more could be added in the coming updates. A live preview allows you to see the configuration in real time.
Windows 11 Moment 2 can be downloaded today if you go to Windows Update and check for updates on a device running Windows 11 version 22H2.
