**macOS Tahoe 26.2 Beta 2: New Features and Installation Instructions**
Public beta testers for macOS can now grab macOS Tahoe 26.2 beta 2, which brings an inventive feature for video conferencing. Here’s what’s new.
### New Edge Light Feature
Recently, Apple unveiled macOS Tahoe 26.2 developer beta 2, showcasing an innovative “Edge Light” feature that improves video calls by brightening the edges of the screen. This unique function empowers users to adjust both the thickness and color temperature of the edge light, with options available in blue, neutral, and amber shades. The outcome emulates the effect of a ring light, which has gained popularity for streaming and video conferencing.
In addition to the new Edge Light feature, beta 2 doesn’t seem to present any other user-facing updates. Still, further investigation might unveil additional noteworthy enhancements.
The current build version being released is 25C5037j, the same as the developer beta 2.
