Level up your video calls with Copilot+ PCs and enhanced Windows Studio Effects

Copilot+ PCs take video conferencing to the next level with improved Windows Studio Effects powered by the Qualcomm Neural Processing Unit (NPU) inside. This AI-powered suite of features helps you look and sound your best during calls, while also minimizing distractions.

Background blur is a staple video call feature, and Copilot+ PCs elevate it with improved edge detection for a more natural look. No more awkward halo effects around your head! But background blur is just the beginning. Voice focus actively reduces background noise, ensuring your voice is crystal clear, even in noisy environments.

Portrait lighting automatically adjusts to provide flattering illumination, even in low-light situations. This ensures you're always well-lit and visible on calls. The innovative eye contact teleprompter helps you maintain eye contact even when reading from a script or looking away from the screen. This fosters a more natural and engaging video call experience.

Plus, you can spice up your video calls with a variety of artistic filters, including illustrated, animated, and watercolor styles. These add a touch of personality and make your calls more visually interesting.

The Qualcomm NPU within Copilot+ PCs boasts a processing power of 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS). This immense power unlocks a range of AI-powered features within Windows 11, including the enhanced Windows Studio Effects we discussed.

Copilot+ PCs, featuring the next generation of Windows laptops and the recently announced GPT-4o model from OpenAI, are expected to launch around June 18. These powerful machines, boasting significant performance improvements over competitors, will be the only way to experience the full potential of Windows Studio Effects.
