Getting tired of the same old Zoom calls? Wondering how you can make your next Zoom call a bit more interesting? Give this hack a try!

Turn yourself into a cartoon character with the Snap Camera app. The app can be used on both a Mac and PC and it's super easy to setup.

First download and install the Snap Camera app here (Be sure you running Windows 10 or macOS 10.13 or later)
Once it's installed, start the Snap Camera app
Next, start Zoom
Select Snap Camera as your camera input
- (On a Mac, in the top menu, click "Preferences" > "Video".
- If you're on a PC, in the upper-right click the gear icon in the upper-right of the app then select "Video." Then, from the drop-down menu labeled "Camera," select "Snap Camera" rather than your current input. If already in a Zoom call, mouse over the Video icon in the bottom left and select Snap Camera as the camera input.

Be sure to go to the Snap Camera app and select the filter you want from the carousel underneath the camera feed. The one we like is called "Cartoon Style." Click it and you'll be good to go.

Extra special tip: you can click the video or create a custom hotkey (defined under the video feed) to switch between different cartoon styles. Have fun!
