KDE has implemented the new Wayland session restore protocol - Neowin
It's the end of another week, and as usual, the KDE team spent the last few days working on different parts of the KDE ecosystem, with a bulk of the work going to Plasma.
Starting with Plasma 6.7, the team added a new feature that lets you record yourself with your microphone and then play it back. This will come in handy in situations where you need to check if your recording level is too high or low, so you can get it just right. The screen chooser UI has also been improved with fancier visualizations that show your actual wallpapers in the background when screen sharing.
KDE Plasma 6.7 will finally fix the most annoying part of tweaking your microphone volume
As much as I hate hearing myself over a microphone, I have to admit that listening to yourself while adjusting your mic volume is vital. That way, you know you're not coming through too quietly or too loudly, and you can get a feel for the audio quality, too. Windows has had this feature for a while now, but unfortunately, KDE Plasma won't let you.
Fortunately, that's getting fixed pretty soon. A new patch note for KDE Plasma 6.7.0 confirms that, once it releases, we'll be able to hear our own microphone when adjusting the volume.
