Microsoft makes another tweak to Windows 11’s taskbar – but it’s probably not the change you were hoping for

Microsoft has recently added a new icon to the Windows 11 taskbar, providing access to the Windows Studio Effects feature. This feature uses AI to enhance video calls, offering effects like background blur and improved lighting. However, Windows Studio Effects is exclusive to Copilot+ PCs, which require specific hardware specifications. While the introduction of an icon in the taskbar makes the feature more accessible, limiting it to certain PCs may hinder its widespread adoption. Microsoft’s aim to promote AI features through Copilot+ PCs faces challenges as the benefits may not be compelling enough for users to invest in new hardware. Despite efforts to make AI features more user-friendly, such as the eye contact feature, concerns remain about their practicality and appeal. In conclusion, Microsoft may need to provide stronger incentives for users to embrace these AI capabilities effectively.
