"It is very likely that your child, best friend, or significant other was the last person to use your laptop and they turned on a cute and cuddly filter from Zoom or a third party, such as SnapCamera or Live! Avatar Cam," continued the statement. The videoconferencing service explained on its website that the company appreciates "that video filters can make meetings fun," but understands that "when meetings turn serious, cat filters can turn them into a cat-astrophe."
Luckily, Zoom has issued easy-to-follow instructions on how to remove a filter from your video. It’s 2021, and everyone’s permitted to have some fun online."Cat lawyer" Rod Ponton delighted the world when he accidentally appeared in a virtual court hearing with a Zoom filter showing him as a talking kitten on Tuesday.Ī clip of the moment went viral, and while many seemed to enjoy joking about the video, it's fair to say that most of us don't want to be stuck with a filter over our faces during an important meeting. While we might not combine a handlebar mustache, halo, and yellow lip gloss, feel free to try using Zoom’s Video Filters and Studio Effects to experiment.
Previously, the only way to add some of these virtual overlays was by downloading the Snap Camera plug-in, and combining Snap Camera with Zoom for fun, weird combinations like an animatronic potato. Zoom can “see” your lips, and color them appropriately. Finally, you can even touch up your virtual lip gloss. You can add thicker eyebrows of varying shapes and sizes, as well as a mustache and beard. Clicking this opens a sidebar that provides various ways to touch up your face. (No “cat lawyer” masks, though, yet.) Play around and find one that works for you.Īt the very bottom of the screen is yet another link, to Studio Effects (Beta). Here you’ll see a number of self-explanatory overlays, including “Theater” and “Analog television,” among others. You can try on any number of virtual accessories for size, such as hats, halos, animal ears, masks, and even 3D goggles. Instead of selecting Virtual Backgrounds, though, select the Video Filters option to the right. Going for a “Weekend at Bernie’s” vibe here.
