The new Dolby.io Communications SDK version 3.7 gives developers more control over media allowed into a conference through updated features like virtual backgrounds and audio filter settings.
- Virtual and blurred backgrounds allow users to customize how others see them during a video chat.
- A new Low Noise Reduction setting in our Communications APIs lets audiences experience media content with minimal filtering by allowing more environmental sounds and effects into the audio stream.
- Improved A/V synchronization helps keep audio and video aligned, ensuring a great communications experience.
Virtual backgrounds and blurring

Low Noise Reduction audio settings

Some use cases don’t prioritize spoken voice. Dolby.io is pleased to offer developers new audio settings that let them decide where to focus listener attention.
Social Media: Bring your fans into the action with environmental audio focusing on the sounds of the street, the pulse of the city, or the clack of a subway car as it races through underground tunnels.
Live Events: Connect online audiences with the excitement of real-world activity by allowing a wider range of sounds into your stream to create more engaging hybrid events.
Improved audio & video synchronization
Dolby.io benefits from decades of Dolby audio research, and our voice and video chat products define how a premium communications experience should sound. Our new SDK version 3.7 ensures we keep audio and video streams in sync for customers using our Web SDK.
