If you ever just wanted to get a bit wacky on your next Zoom weekend, there's a feature on the video conferencing app that you might not know but will want to use. Studio Effects allows you to tweak some of your facial features via augmented reality effects. So, if you want to change up your eyebrows, add a moustache, and then change these into different colours, you can do just that.

Studio Effects is currently in beta, so you may or may not have access to it yet. But if you want to check, start a Zoom session and head to the Video Settings. You can find this in the arrow beside the Stop Video option. From there, look for Background & Filters, and then Studio Effects (Beta) option should appear in the lower right-hand corner. Initially, you'll need to download the effects package before you can start playing around with it.

You can set facial effects for just one meeting or for every meeting you're in. We highly discourage you from choosing the latter unless you'll want to look silly in serious Zoom meetings.
