These features are available for iOS 15+ on devices powered by A12 Bionic chip and later.

# Audio settings

The following audio modes are supported:

/docs/client-ios/media/mic_modes/en.png
  • Automatically — the feature automatically selects the optimal microphone settings for various communication scenarios. For example, when using a headset, Voice Isolation Mode is activated, whereas a standard setting for natural audio capture is applied when using a built-in microphone.

  • Standard — standard voice processing is used.

  • Voice Isolation Mode — this microphone operation mode uses machine learning to separate your voice and remove background noise. For example, engine noises outside the window or a dog barking nearby will not interfere with your communication.

  • Wide Spectrum Mode — this microphone operation mode allows capturing and transmitting all outside sounds. This feature can be useful for immersive online lectures and other use cases when you need to transmit all sounds around you to meeting participants.

# Video Settings

The following modes are available for configuring your video:

/docs/client-ios/media/portrait_mode/en.png
  • Portrait — a feature that allows background blurring. This function can be used for both point-to-point calls and video conferences. By pressing /docs/client-ios/media/gui/apple_more/en.png, a menu will expand where you can increase or decrease the blurring effect.

  • Studio Light — this effect allows you to darken the background and illuminate the face without using additional equipment. It is especially useful when shooting in low-light conditions, such as with backlighting when the subject is positioned in front of a window. Click /docs/client-ios/media/gui/apple_more/en.png to adjust the intensity of the studio light.

  • Reactions — during video conferences, you can use full-screen video effects and add reactions with hand gestures that fill the frame with 3D effects. Learn more about all reactions in the Apple documentation.
