Overview
- Edge Light is now included in macOS Tahoe 26.2 beta 2 for both developers and public beta testers.
- The feature works on all Apple silicon Macs, with automatic activation in low light on 2024-and-newer models.
- Apple’s Neural Engine detects face position while the Image Signal Processor adapts brightness, and users can adjust intensity and color temperature.
- The effect supports major video apps, including FaceTime, Zoom, WebEx, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet, and also works with external cameras and Studio Display.
- Reviewers report clear gains in very low light, note that it recedes near the cursor and does not appear in screenshots, and caution it will not fully replace dedicated lighting.
