The Blur speaker background effect allows you to blur everything behind a person, making the speaker the focal point. You can toggle this feature on and adjust the intensity to create the desired level of blur.
Important note: The Blur speaker background effect works best with a person who is front and center and not obstructed. Non-human subjects such as pets, inanimate objects, or ghostly apparitions will be blurred as part of the background.
