Microsoft has announced Together Mode, a new Skype feature that uses Artificial Intelligence to bring together all participants in a video call in the same image. The feature is the same one used in another platform from the company, Microsoft Teams.
Whether for work, study or interpersonal relationships, the coronavirus pandemic is causing people to increasingly use conferencing and video calling tools. With this in mind, companies are offering new features that contribute to these interactions, bringing participants even closer together.
This is the case of Together Mode, a feature developed by Microsoft's AI department for Microsoft Teams and Skype that brings everyone involved in a conversation together virtually. The feature identifies individuals and erases the background of their cameras to transport them to scenarios such as meeting rooms, classrooms and other settings.
According to Microsoft, the effect, worthy of a science fiction film, seeks to break down the barriers imposed by social distancing. Even if it is virtual, the company believes that the proximity makes relationships more natural.
The idea is that Together Mode will be available in the next Skype update, version 8.67, allowing people to use the feature to celebrate Christmas and other end-of-year festivities.
Holidays are the focus of attention for companies that provide video calling solutions, as many will be able to increase their user base during this period. In addition to Microsoft's news, Zoom also announced that will provide free calls for users during the period. In addition, other companies such as Discord and Twitter They also already apply updates to diversify the market.
