Meta has been working hard to upgrade the quality of video calls on its platform. For this purpose, the company announced new updates for audio and video calling via Messenger and Facebook.
In this new update, Meta is bringing HD video calls to the platform. The HD video calls will be enabled by default when you are on Wi-Fi.
Users would have the option to switch on HD video calls using mobile data as well. You can see that from the example shared by Meta.
They also bring background noise suppression and voice isolation to help you make it clearer. This will overall improve the quality of video calls on Facebook and Messenger.
Then there is also an option of video and voice messages if someone is not picking up your call.
As you can see from the above image, there will be an option of leaving video or voice messages when your friends aren’t picking up. Just tap on the record button to leave a message.
The social media giant is also bringing AI backgrounds to video calling. According to the company, soon you’ll be able to use AI backgrounds in Messengers video calls to reflect how you’re feeling.
Users will be able to use Meta AI to generate cool images depending on their mood. Just tap on the AI backgrounds and then create or select the background for your call.
Apart from this, Meta is also bringing hands-free calling as well. iOS users will be able to ask Siri to assist them in sending text messages.
Here is how Meta explains it.
“When your hands are full or your phone is out of reach, you can now ask Siri to help you make your calls and messages wherever you are. Try something like: “Hey Siri, send a message to Cassandra on Messenger” and then dictate what that message will be.”
