PSA: Testing of new echo canceller continues in M71
Henrik Lundin
Chrome M71 is rolling out to Chrome Stable users this week. With this version of Chrome, WebRTC is continuing to test the new acoustic echo canceller (AEC3) for a randomized subset of users, across all desktop operating systems. We are anticipating a general launch within the foreseeable future.
Users can expect much reduced echo leakage compared to AEC2, as heard by the other endpoint. Furthermore, the transparency is improved from earlier versions of AEC3. (Lack of transparency is perceived as “choppy audio” or half-duplex behavior, again by the other side.)
In particular, crbug.com/905083 was fixed in M71.
For more information about what to expect, how site owners can control the AEC version, and how to report issues, see our previous message.
If you do find issues with the new AEC3, please report them to us.
