If you have an M1-powered MacBook and any of the current-gen AirPods, you can take advantage of Apple's spatial audio too. That might be helpful if the whole family is wishing a happy birthday to Grandma. Wide Spectrum, on the other hand, picks up all the noise in your environment.

Voice Isolation works best when you're in noisier environments because it tries to block much of it out. They'll need to be using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.Īs for audio, you can switch between Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum microphone modes. More importantly, you can invite friends using Android or Windows devices to join in a call by sending them a link. A new grid view also makes it easier to see everyone on the call at once.

For example, you can apply Portrait mode to your calls-adding a blur effect to the background to hide messy rooms.
