In the announcement made at Ignite 2019, Microsoft has shown how the application of this new technology allows you to eliminate background noise in a videoso that only the voice of the person speaking remains in it.Therefore, there is a gain in audio quality, especially in environments with ambient noise.

The technology is called Voice Enhance and is responsible for eliminating background noise that can disturb conversations. This is to help participants focus on the message of the person speaking, not on what is going on around them. It is also very easy to use, as all you have to do is click on the corresponding icon to activate or deactivate it.
