Skype’s desktop version now supports AI-based noise cancellation

California : Tech company Microsoft has updated the Skype Desktop app with a new feature that would augment its voice and video call experience.
According to Mashable, Microsoft has introduced artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled noise cancellation feature into the Skype desktop app for both Windows and Mac machines. However, the novel feature is not yet available on Skype’s mobile and web version.
To activate the background noise suppression feature, a user should click on ‘Settings’ and select the audio tab. The noise cancellation feature shows up, with the options auto, low, and high.
As reported by Mashable, in a blog post, Skype mentioned that this noise cancellation technology was originally made for Microsoft Teams.

Originally developed for Microsoft Teams, this new feature is designed to silence just about everything except for your voice when you’re meeting on Skype.”
