Microsoft Teams can now suppress background noise using machine learning

Microsoft has a couple of new audio features in the works for Teams. Machine-learning-based noise suppression can automatically detect background noise that needs to be suppressed, allowing the communication app to make speech audio clearer within meetings. An automatic music detection feature is also on the way to Teams, though people will have to wait a few months to try it out. The mode reduces bitrate by four times compared to lossless encoding. Microsoft built the new feature with music lessons and performances in mind.
