Zoom will let you show up to your next meeting as a rabbit, fox, dog, or another type of animal, using its new Avatars feature<\/a> that replaces you with a virtual character that copies your expressions, Memoji-style<\/a>. The company says this feature, which is included in the Zoom 5.10 update, will only let you become an animal at launch, but that new avatar options will be added in the future.<\/p>\n
Zoom sees this feature as useful for a lot of different scenarios \u2014 in its press release, it mentions showing up with an avatar filter on could \u201cbring some fun to your team-building meetings\u201d or help pediatricians seem less intimidating to young children. There\u2019s also the idea that it could help alleviate Zoom fatigue. At least one study has indicated<\/a> that constantly looking at yourself to make sure you\u2019re presentable and reacting appropriately is part of what makes being in video calls all day so tiring. If your Zoom box is showing a giraffe that\u2019s mirroring your facial expressions, that\u2019s a lot harder to scrutinize than your actual face.<\/p>\n
\nAvatars are like video filters that completely replace you<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nTo turn on Avatars, Zoom instructs users to click the ^ button next to the Start \/ Stop Video button, then click Choose Video Filter. Then, pick the animal you want to show up as from the Avatars tab \u2014 apparently, you can even decide whether your avatar will be wearing a hoodie or T-shirt (it\u2019d just be immersion-breaking if you showed up as a fox not appropriately dressed for the weather). You can also optionally choose to always apply the filter whenever you enter a meeting \u2014 if you want. <\/p>\nThe video conferencing app already has a variety of Snapchat-like filters and effects that you can use to change your appearance<\/a> \u2014 you could already add bunny ears or a mustache to your face or use Snap\u2019s camera app<\/a> to give yourself a cartoonish appearance. Avatars take it one step further by completely replacing you. Zoom does say that it won\u2019t \u201cstore any data regarding your face or facial features\u201d if you use Avatars. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to tell how useful Zoom Avatars will be in reducing meeting anxiety or fatigue \u2014 not because they\u2019re not fun, but because of other people\u2019s tolerance for Zoom playfulness. Personally, my co-workers are never going to see my face again if this feature ends up working well, but there are definitely places where you\u2019d get told off for showing up as an animal (either by the judge for your court case<\/a> saying it\u2019s not appropriate to have a filter on or by a co-worker teasing you by saying you look like a furry). Hopefully, though, if video calls stay a part of our lives, we all get some time to be a little less serious \u2014 something that Avatars could certainly help with.<\/p>\n
