When you select eyebrows or facial hair effects, color options appear below. Click on one of the preloaded colors or select the color wheel to choose a custom color. You can also adjust the transparency of the effect.
If you want your face effects to be automatically displayed in all meetings, check the ‘Apply to all future meetings’ box.
When you are done, click on ‘Close’. Keep in mind that the face effects will appear on your video in real time as you adjust them.
That is it! You can get a wild look with these fun facial expressions that are sure to make you stand out at your next Zoom meeting.
