It’s 2021, and everyone’s permitted to have some fun online. 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. Go to your Zoom account home and click the Settings Select Background & Filters> Video Filters. Use the search bar in Snap Camera to search for the filters you want. You can quickly switch between various Snap Camera filters by heading over to Snap Camera and clicking on a new filter. You can add thicker eyebrows of varying shapes and sizes, as well as a mustache and beard. (Photo: Indian Express) Step 4: Your lens should now be activated within Zoom. 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.
