Snapchat lenses coming soon to Microsoft teams; What are the benefits?

These are completely optional. If you prefer to keep your video feed free of effects, you can easily choose not to use them.

Microsoft has announced snapchat lenses will soon be integrated into Teams. The new feature allows users to use these lenses while camera chatting. The main benefit of Snapchat lenses for Teams is the direct integration. There is no need to download anything or add a new app to Teams.

“Starting this week, a collection of more than 20 of the most popular Snapchat lenses will be available to Teams customers worldwide*, giving you more ways to express yourself, build relationships and make your meetings shine,” Microsoft wrote in the blog post.

These are completely optional. If you prefer to keep your video feed free of effects, you can easily choose not to use them. You can also try the ‘smooth look’ filter for a ‘glow-up’ to render polished and camera-ready , without animations included.

What are the advantages?

Lenses give you an easy way to express your personality or mood through the power of AR. When you first meet a new team member or want to get creative juices flowing on a project, use a lens to put square glasses on your face, add a snowy background or turn your colleague into a stallion … er, horse. It will lighten the mood, create connections and make everyone feel more at ease.
