MacBooks and Macs using Apple's M1, M1 Pro and M1 Max chip will also be able to blur user backgrounds thanks to the Neural Engine, though this is something that has been part of other video calling applications for a while now, and doesn't require specialist hardware. There's also Wide Spectrum, which does the opposite, and means all ambient sounds (as well as voices) are boosted, which can be useful in some circumstances where you need to hear the environmental sounds where people are. There's also Voice Isolation, which uses machine learning to eliminate background noise and make voices clearer and easier to understand. This includes spatial audio support (a big theme of Apple's WWDC 2021 keynote), so depending on where the person is sitting, their audio should feel like it's coming from their position. So, it's good to see Apple bringing new features to FaceTime calling in macOS 12 Monterey. This past year has made the way we work and communicate change in drastic ways, and video calls are now more important than ever. But if you have an iOS device, you can use SharePlay now, which has returned in the release of iOS 15.1.
