For some time now, we have gone from sending SMS and making phone calls to send us messages Through the different applications we have at our disposal, WhatsApp being the first that arrived and continues to triumph around the world.
Skype, despite offering a platform very similar to WhatsApp practically since its inception, always has been focused on making international calls economically and video calls. He tried a couple of years ago to enter this market, but failed, which allowed him to focus on improving his video calling service.
When we make a video call, it is recommended select a background that does not distract your interlocutor In order to focus all the attention on our person, as long as it is a work call, since if it is a relative, the bottom of where we are does not matter.
To allow users not to have to move around the house to find a clean background without distractions, Skype added a feature a few months ago that Blurs the background of the video call.
This function that works independently of the quality of the camera we use, makes use of Artificial Intelligence to blur only all the objects that are not or are the people who are part of the video call.
The operation is practically perfect, since also if we move through the background or show our hands, these too they will appear in focus at all times.
For the blurred background to start working, we just have to start a video call and click on the camcorder iconAt that time, the Blur my background option will be displayed. When activated, we will see how all the objects that are located behind us, as well as those in front and that are inanimate, will be blurred.
