Look,Watch online Fast Lane to Vegas (2000) we get it. With that big video-conference call fast approaching, and all those reports your manager made you pull together at thelast freaking minute,it's totally understandable that you forgot all about that huge bong sitting on the shelf right behind you.
Thankfully, Skype gets it too. The video chat service you never knew was so chillhas a new feature that totally has you covered. It's called background blur, and it's here to save you from all kinds of potential video call embarrassments.

"With a simple toggle, right-click, or even through your Skype settings, your background will be instantly and subtly blurred, leaving just you as the only focal point."

"We do our best to make sure that your background is always blurred," the blog post announcing the feature warns, "but we cannot guarantee that your background will always be blurred."
Still, though. This is an important development (using "artificial intelligence (AI)—trained in human form detection," no less!) for everyone who's spent 20 minutes tidying up their college dorm room before hopping on Skype with grandma. And it's left us thinking about what other great privacy improvements the company could bring to its platform.
For example, what if Skype offered a feature — enabled with a simple right click or toggle — that completely blacked out video altogether while leaving the sound intact?
Nah, some things are perhaps just toofantastical.
