Microsoft Teams will use artificial intelligence to better reduce background noises in video conferences

Always worried about the potential for embarrassing background noises at home during video meetings? Microsoft is working on an update that could save you from future videoconferencing faux pas. The company's Microsoft 365 roadmap lists as in development "AI-based real-time noise suppression," which is scheduled for release in November 2020. The feature, spotted by news site Windows Latest, "will automatically remove unwelcome background noise during your meetings." Artificial intelligence technology is used to analyze a user's audio and "specially trained deep neural networks" will filter out noises and keep the person's voice, the software giant's planning document says.
