Microsoft Teams is a great way to collaborate with colleagues. But if you want to add Snapchat filters to your team, there are a few things you need to know. First, you’ll need the Snapchat app installed on your device. Second, you’ll need to create a new team and add members. Third, you’ll need to set up filters for your team. Finally, be sure to share the filters with your team so they can get started!
Snapchat video filters offer a fun and creative way to present yourself by using your webcam to superimpose lenses on your face. You can integrate these filters with Microsoft Teams in your next meeting. Here’s how.
How to Enable Snapchat Video Filters in Microsoft Teams
To turn on Snapchat video filters in Microsoft Teams, start by downloading the Snap Camera app for Windows or Mac. Accept the terms and conditions and privacy policy prompts before completing the captcha and choosing either the PC (Windows) or Mac option.
Run the installation file and follow the Snap Camera Setup Wizard prompts to install Snap Camera on your computer.
Once Snap Camera is installed and launched, download the Microsoft Teams app if you are a first-time user.
From there, launch the Microsoft Teams app and create a profile. Click on the profile icon at the top right of the application, click on “Manage Accounts” and go to “Devices.”
Scroll down briefly to the Camera section and select “Snap Camera.” From there, a preview pane will appear with your face superimposed by the lens selected in the default Snap Camera app.
To turn off the Snapchat video filter in Microsoft Teams, go back to the setting as explained above. Change the camera back to your default camera, which may be labeled as “Integrated Camera” or “Web HD.”
A Fun but Niche Feature for Microsoft Teams
Snapchat video filters on Microsoft Teams seem a little mismatched, pairing a quirky, zany app in a professional environment. Although the number and mix of lenses are fun enough, they can wear out quickly given the seriousness of the platform. Look to Snapchat video filters on Microsoft Teams for a quick prank or laugh with coworkers before getting back to the serious stuff.
