There's a new Focus mode that's essentially a more customizable Do Not Disturb mode. It's an interesting design choice that puts an emphasis on the new Tab groups feature that allows you to group tabs together for easy organization however, this could frustrate those who normally like to have 10+ tabs open at one time.

Apple has done away with the traditional tab bar and instead replaced it with combination of the toolbar and the search field, in which the tabs appear to float within the browser. The new macOS gives Safari quite the face lift. Right now at launch, mostly Apple's services are the only ones to support SharePlay. Not every streaming app supports SharePlay at launch, but the API is open so popular services like Disney+, Netflix, HBO Max and Spotify will theoretically be able to take advantage of it. And the cool thing is that anybody in the FaceTime call can control playback or queue up songs. It allows you to share your screen over FaceTime with multiple people, which is obviously great for presentations, but maybe more intriguing is the fact that it allows you to have watch parties for movies and shows and group listening sessions for music. The most-hyped new feature is probably SharePlay. And, if you have an M1-based Mac, there's Portrait Mode effect that you're able to use.

FaceTime on the Mac gets a lot of new features with macOS Monterey.
