Apple Edge Light Enhances Mac Video Calls
Apple has added a new feature called Edge Light to Macs with Apple silicon.
This feature uses the Mac's display to create a soft light around the edges, making your face look better during video calls, especially in dimly lit rooms.
It adjusts automatically on newer Mac models and can be manually controlled for brightness and color tone.
The light moves out of the way when you need to use the screen, ensuring it doesn't get in the way.
This feature works across different video calling apps, making it convenient for users.
