MS Teams will soon be releasing an Artificial Intelligence-based noise reduction feature that will automatically eliminate undesirable background noise while meetings are taking place. This will be an update to the present noise suppression feature where users will now have control over how to suppress noise. There will be the latest high setting user can choose from on MS Teams that will reduce more background noise. It will be releasing in November.
On Microsoft 365 Roadmap, this Artificial Intelligence-based real-time noise-suppressing feature is presently listed as ‘in development’. It works by checking a person’s audio feed on the platform and using specially trained unfathomable neutral networks to remove the noise and recollect just the speech signal.
