Background blurring comes to Skype – Quick wrap

Skype has introduced a feature – background blur. Similar to background blur in Microsoft Teams, the feature will allow attendees to focus on themselves in Skype calls & blur their backgrounds.

 

 

 

Here’s what Skype had to say about it:

Background blur in Skype and Teams uses artificial intelligence (AI)—trained in human form detection—to keep you in focus during your call. This technology is also trained to detect your hair, hands, and arms, making a call with background blur just as relaxed and easy as a regular video call.

Background blur is available on most desktops and laptops with the latest version of Skype. For more questions about background blur in Skype, read our support article. We also love to hear from you on the Skype Community, where millions of Skype users have registered to share their expertise, feedback, and Skype stories.
