M365 Changelog: (Updated) Soft focus and Adjust brightness in Teams video meetings

MC352623 – Updated July 11, 2022: Microsoft has updated the rollout timeline and content below. Thank you for your patience.

Soft focus and Adjust brightness are video filters in Teams video meetings. Users will soon be able to access and apply both settings, before and during meetings.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 65944

Note: Soft focus is not available for EDU tenants.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rolling out in late May (previously early May) and expects the rollout to be completed by mid-July (previously late June).

How this will affect your organization:

Soft focus applies a smoothing effect to appearance, and Adjust brightness enhances the video quality when lighting is poor.

Users in your organization will see these 2 filters in “Device Settings” panel in meeting and “Settings”->”Devices”->”Camera” panel.

Note: This feature is turned-off by default.
