There's also Wide Spectrum, which does the opposite, and means all ambient sounds (as well as voices) are boosted, which can be useful in some circumstances where you need to hear the environmental sounds where people are. There's also Voice Isolation, which uses machine learning to eliminate background noise and make voices clearer and easier to understand. This includes spatial audio support (a big theme of Apple's WWDC 2021 keynote), so depending on where the person is sitting, their audio should feel like it's coming from their position.
So, it's good to see Apple bringing new features to FaceTime calling in macOS 12 Monterey. This past year has made the way we work and communicate change in drastic ways, and video calls are now more important than ever. There's been no sign of it as yet in the public betas, but we are aware that it's an update that may take longer to appear, similar to SharePlay which has already returned in the public beta of iOS 15.1. This could prove to be one of the most useful new features in macOS 12 Monterey. There's no setup required, you'll be able to just put your devices next to each other, and move your cursor between them. You can also drag and drop files between iPads, MacBooks, iMacs and more. Use a trackpad on your MacBook and slide over seamlessly to your iPad. This handy feature means you can use a single mouse and keyboard and switch between Mac and iPad.
