Edge Light in macOS 26 Tahoe Is Apple’s Trick for Making Your Dark-Room Calls Watchable
The new Edge Light feature in macOS Tahoe 26.2 beta uses face detection to improve video call lighting on Apple Silicon MacBooks, activating automatically in low light.
- On Nov. 12, Apple released macOS Tahoe 26.2 developer beta 2, introducing Edge Light that turns a MacBook screen into a ring-style illuminator for video calls.
- Apple designed Edge Light to provide built-in on-camera lighting with warm/cool controls and automatic activation in dim ambient light, so MacBook users avoid scrambling for an external ring light.
- On compatible Apple silicon Macs, Edge Light uses Apple's Neural Engine to detect faces, avoid the MacBook menu bar/notch, and integrates with FaceTime and Zoom with adjustable in-app controls.
- Developers can access Edge Light now in the dev beta , and Apple expects macOS 26.2 to ship later this year, potentially improving visibility in late-afternoon calls .
- Technical uncertainties persist because Apple has not confirmed if Edge Light will come to iPadOS 26 or Apple Silicon iPads, and some 2019 MacBook Pro and Mac Pro models are excluded.
