Use Edge Light for Better Video Calls in macOS

[Starfia]

No which makes it useless

So it seems useless?

Is anyone getting any useful benefit out of this?

Tried it. does absolutely nothing.

On Studio Display and the edge light makes no difference with face lighting.

Another worthless feature no one asked for bloating the OS.

I'm in a pretty dark studio with my Studio Display, and in that situation it makes a dramatic difference. (To this point, I'd typically throw up a window with light-coloured solid contents.)

Of course the light from a Studio Display isn't going to do much when augmenting an already well-lit room.

Ah yes! It couldn't possibly be a software feature that works on any monitor. Only Apple monitors can render a white ring around the software window! This is peak innovation <chefs-kiss.gif>

To all saying using this makes no difference, the feature can only help in low light situations. The display is not as bright as a spot light.

There's no pleasing people. If Apple said it was helpful someone would set out to prove it's not, and if Apple said it's not someone would set out to prove it was. To get the narrative you want you just churn out reverse psychology 😁

I don't get why drawing a white ring on the screen can't be done on Intel Macs.

Gimmicky nonsense - in that it's totally ineffectual. Maybe they could make their round mouse glow really bright to lighten eye shadows too!

Good to see this. Have not yet updated my Macs. Not sure how useful it will be but will try it out soon once I update.
