Microsoft adds AI-enabled noise cancellation feature to Skype: Here’s how you can enable it

Skype’s latest feature, coming to desktop version, is AI-enabled noise cancellation. In its blogpost, Skype announced that the feature originally developed for Microsoft Teams is rolling out now and users should get it in a couple of days’ time.

This feature suppresses the background noise and filters it out without affecting the voice of the user. Skype also said that its noise suppression algorithm is different from others as its “neural networks can learn the difference between speech and more complex, inconsistent noises.”

“This technology relies on machine learning (ML) to learn the difference between clean speech and noise and is frequently referred to as artificial intelligence (AI).
