One of Snapchat’s biggest and most popular features is its Lenses, which provide some different backgrounds and visual effects to people using the social networking app. Today, Microsoft announced a new collaboration with Snapchat on its Microsoft Teams for Work video meetings.
Starting this week, Microsoft’s blog says more than 20 Snapchat lenses will be available to use in Teams for Work. Microsoft’s blog post stated:
Lenses give you an easy way to show your personality or mood—from silly to sweet—through the power of AR. There are lenses that make you look like a cartoon character, lenses that add quirky backgrounds like eerie sparkles to your video feed, and lenses that let you appear as fungi, or… “Funny man?” With so many options to choose from, it’s easy to find a lens that fits your personality and sense of humor.
People who want to add one of these lenses to their Teams video can do the following before the meeting starts:
- First, click on Video effects Choice, and then More video effects.
- You can then scroll down. Filters category, and then click Snapchat choice.
- You can then browse through all the Snapchat Lens selections and choose your favorite. After that you can click. Join now To enter a meeting.
With this method you can also go to Snapchat Lens while the meeting is in progress.
- Click on More Select at the top of the screen, then click Video effects.
- You can then scroll down. Filters category, and then click Snapchat choice.
- You can then select your preferred lens and then click either Preview Just click or to check it yourself before going live. Apply For instant lens fitting.
This is for the current “classic” version of Microsoft Teams and not the recently announced new Teams that are currently in public preview.
